Steve Jones - Part 2 (The Early Tour Wins)

In part two of our four-part visit with Major Champion Steve Jones we hear him reflect on the adjustments to being on the road on the Tour in strange cities playing courses he had yet to learn. After reflecting on being the Q School medalist in 1986 with some fine players, Steve talks about winning his first meaningful check, teaming with Australian Jane Crafter to win the JC Penney Classic and then finding the winner's circle with his first PGA TOUR win at the 1988 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am back when Cypress Point was still in the rotation. He talks about his best year on tour, winning three times in 1989 including the Tournament of Champions, a week later at the Bob Hope and then prevailing at the Canadian Open. Little did Steve know at the time but the next few years leading up to his 1996 U.S. Open win would challenge his faith and his confidence. Stay tuned as Steve Jones continues his inspirational tale, "FORE the Good of the Game."
