Last week I made mention of the fact that Australian golfer, Brendan Jones, needed a good week at the final full field event of the year on the Japan Tour, the Casio World Open, in order to retain his playing privileges in Japan for next season without the need to use a career money list exemption.
The winner of 15 titles in Japan and one of the most successful foreigners to play the Japan Tour since since first joining in 2001, Jones has struggled in 2022 in his first season back after a Covid enforced break for foreigners from playing in Japan.
Jones finished 18th in last week’s event and eventually 68th on the money list after a comparatively strong finish to the season and safely retained the right to play in Japan next season.
Two of Jones’ last three starts of 2022 when 17th at the Visa Taiheiyo event and when 19th at the Casio World Open resulted in his best two finishes of the year.
