ANTWERP, Belgium — Sam Jones hit the first albatross of his career on Thursday as he took a two-stroke lead in the Soudal Open on the DP World Tour on Thursday. Jones, a Tour rookie from New Zealand, holed his second shot at the par-five 17th at Rinkven International Golf Club and went on to card a nine-under 62 in the Belgian city of Antwerp. Five players are tied for second place behind Jones: Andrew Wilson, Nacho Elvira, Romain Langasque, Niklas Norgaard and Matthew Jordan. The 27-year-old Jones hit three birdies and one bogey on his front nine and followed that up with four more birdies before his albatross capped an excellent day out.
