AVONDALE, La.\u2014Matt Jones<\/a> chipped in from 57 feet on his final hole for a 6-under 66 and a share of the first-round lead with Bubba Watson<\/a> on Thursday in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Watson, the winner at Torrey Pines in late January, two-putted from 32 feet for eagle on the par-5 11th and had six birdies and two bogeys at TPC Louisiana.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jones had eight birdies and two bogeys. Playing the back nine first, the Australian reeled off four consecutive birdies beginning at the par-4 16th. He followed with a 30-foot birdie putt on the 17th, an 11-footer on the 18th and a 20-foot putt on the first.<\/p>\n

Watson and Jones played in the afternoon in better scoring conditions after a strong north wind made morning play more difficult.<\/p>\n

Joe Durant<\/a>, Tommy Gainey<\/a>, Carl Pettersson<\/a>, John Rollins<\/a>, Nick O\u2019Hern<\/a> and David Duval<\/a> opened with 67s. Durant played in the morning.<\/p>\n

Luke Donald<\/a>, a playoff loser last week at Hilton Head in a failed bid to jump from No. 3 to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking, shot a 68 to match Matt Bettencourt<\/a>, Webb Simpson<\/a>, Jason Dufner<\/a>, Charles Howell and 2002 winner K.J. Choi<\/a>. Hilton Head winner Brandt Snedeker<\/a> opened with a 77. He had a triple bogey on the par-3 ninth when he hit his tee shot in the water.<\/p>\n

Rickie Fowler<\/a> and Steve Stricker<\/a> shot 70s, U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell<\/a> had a 73, and Vijay Singh<\/a> opened with a 74. Singh, critical of the Pete Dye-designed layout, had a double bogey on the 18th hole.<\/p>\n

John Daly<\/a> struggled to a 9-over 81. Daly was 2 over through 14 holes, then played his last four in 7 over. He had a triple bogey on the par-4 16th after hitting two shots into the water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
