Amarillo man set to play in U.S. Open

22 year old Matt Jones was invited to play in this years U.S. Open

Here what Jones had to say, “I’m very humbled by this opportunity, I’m just a broke college kid trying to make it, but if this is Gods plan I’ll take it”

Jones recently played one of golf greats Tiger Woods earlier this year at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.

Jones plans to finish up this semester at WTAMU, then it’s off to Arizona to help figure out his childhood hero Phil Mickelson. Phil and I have a great relationship. With us both being left handed we can relate to the each other’s golf swing.

Don’t be surprised to see this kid at the top of the leaderboard come Sunday at the U.S. Open, Vegas has already opened up odds for this kid to bring the trophy back to the panhandle.
