Golf World Cup: Brendan Jones is hoping victory in the World Cup with team mate Richard Green tomorrow might bring the pair some attention back home in Australia.

The unheralded partnership shot a nine-under-par 63 today to draw level with Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez and Pablo Larrazabal (67) on 22-under par, four shots clear of Sweden's Henrik Stenson and European number one Robert Karlsson in third (66).
   
With the Australian Masters also taking place at Huntingdale in Melbourne this weekend, though, Jones and Green's impressive performance at Mission Hills in China has passed almost unnoticed in their home country.
   
"I saw an article that ... had 'Green and James' coming second in the World Cup so they don't even know who I am," Jones laughed.
   
"We have got something to prove to the press back home that we might not be the most famous of the Australian players, but we are backing our ability.
   
"We are in a good position, and who knows, we might get a line on the fifth back page tomorrow in the papers."

The Irish pairing of Paul McGinley and Graeme McDowell are fifth in the 28-team event, some seven shots off the pace after today's 68.
   
Jones has played mostly in Japan in recent years and lefthander Green on the European Tour so their relative anonymity is not entirely surprising.
   
If they manage to win the €4.3million tournament, however, they would join the likes of Peter Thomson and Wayne Grady in claiming the trophy for Australia.
   
"We both go out there and play our own games and do as good as we can for Australia, and that's what it's all about, for both of us," said Green.
   
"We both feel very proud to represent Australia."
   
They will again be playing with the higher profile Spaniards in the last grouping in the final round foursomes and will be hoping Jimenez and Larrazabal are unable to get anywhere near the superb 63 they carded in Friday's alternate shot play.
   
"In regards to Spain replicating that round of golf tomorrow, I personally doubt it," said Green, twice a winner on the European Tour.
   
"I think it's going to be a little bit tougher tomorrow, obviously a lot more pressure to win the tournament and I think a good score tomorrow is going to be anything in the 60s."
