Puerto Rico Open 2012 live scores - Matt Jones leads at half way

Matt Jones has a three shot lead at the half way point of the 2012 Puerto Rico Open after opening rounds of 66 and 67.

Matt Jones shot a five under par 67 on Friday to open up a three shot lead over George McNeill at the 2012 Puerto Rico Open.

The pair had been level after impressive 66s on day one but Jones handled the windy conditions better on day two, shooting a bogey free round in Rio Grande.

"I've been putting really well and chipping unbelievably well," Jones said. "My ball-striking was much better yesterday. I missed a few greens today."

The wind increased throughout the day, gusting to 23 mph in the afternoon.

"It started to kick up maybe around the eighth, ninth hole, but compared to yesterday, I didn't really feel it," Jones said. "Growing up in Australia, we're used to playing in the wind. It's nothing uncommon, and I actually, more often than not, enjoy playing in the wind because it makes you not worry about score so much. You worry about hitting the shots one shot at a time, and you play a little smarter."
