Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has put together a quality opening round at the SK Telecom Open on the OneAsia Tour this afternoon.

Fox has fired a four-under par 68 to be in an early share for the lead, shooting four birdies and an eagle to go with two bogies.

The New Zealand second-ranked golfer was at one over through 12 holes before finding a rich vein of form to shoot to the top of the leaderboard, which he currently shares alongside the Korean duo of Giwhan Kim and Sanghyun Park.

Fellow Kiwi Gareth Paddison sits in a tie for 11th at two-under par, having compiled a consistent round with four birdies and two bogies, while Mark Brown sits at one-over through 13 holes of his round.
