Jones Pulls Away at the Eastern Championship
Don Jones shot a crisp 32 on the back nine at Boulder Pointe to pull away from the field and take a twilight, 5 under par, four shot victory over Charlie Roy who was the only other player under par. Gary Thomas finished 3rd at Even Par and Helen Puffenberger, Chuck Withey and Mike Harmon all tied for 4th at 2 over par. Jones had 7 birdies and an eagle to become the 2nd player of the weekend to make a Major his first win. He is the 18th in Tour history to do so. This event marked East Commissioner Tom Hoelzle’s 200th start on Tour.
