Dean Jones was disqualified from a PGA Legends Tour event after inadvertently submitting an incorrect scorecard. An official complaint was lodged against Jones by club officials. But Jones last night told the Herald Sun it was he who had alerted the PGA to the error. Suggestions that Jones had cheated had been swirling around the tour since the event. Jones, who received a "minor" code of conduct charge after the tournament at the Oatlands Golf Club in Sydney, resigned from the tour in February. Speaking from India yesterday, where he is commentating on the Test series, Jones emphatically denied cheating. "There was nothing intentional," he said. It's ugly (to be accused of being a cheat), but what can you do? People say a lot of things about me, so I'm used to it. But to be accused of cheating ... I understand the values of the game, it's a great game, I love it. I still would like to think in four or five years I'd like to go back to it (the tour) again. Jones said he was hot, exhausted and pushed for time when he submitted the incorrect scorecard. It was 46.5C, the round took 6 3/4 hours, I had two car buddies who had just finished the tournament and they were saying, 'Come on Deano, we're going to miss our flights home'. When you put the scorecard in, you have to check it off with the other guys (playing partners). I was rushing, so I just signed it and threw it in. He said a phone call to PGA officials two days later confirmed he had signed the card incorrectly. Jones, who finished 12th in the tournament, said he returned the prizemoney of $450. Jones said he quit the tour because cricket commitments in India, England and Australia for the remainder of the year would not allow him time to play golf. "It had nothing to with my breach," he said. PGA officials contacted by the Herald Sun yesterday initially said they were "looking into rumours" about Jones' conduct. Two hours later, an email from the general manager (tournament division), Simon Butterly, confirmed Jones had committed a minor breach of the code of conduct. Mr Butterly said: "Dean was definitely not sanctioned for cheating." He added: "We would happily welcome Dean back to the PGA Legends Tour in the future."
