Australian golfer Matt Jones has claimed victory in the Honda Classic on the PGA tour.

Jones finished on 12-under to finish five shots clear of the field in Florida.

It’s the 40-year-old’s second PGA title win, and his first since 2014.

In his post-match interview, he became emotional when reflecting on the win.

“I’ve had some tough times in between that and now,” he said, becoming teary.

“Sorry. Pretty emotional. Seven years. I just worked hard. I had some tough times putting but just worked hard with my coach back in Australia, Gary, and it’s finally paid off.”

Jones’ victory earns him a spot in The Masters, to be held in Augusta in April.
