Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has made a strong start to the European PGA tour's season-ending World Tour Championship in Dubai.
An eagle at the par-five 18th helped Fox card a five-under par to sit tied for fourth, two shots behind leader Patrick Reed.
The 30-year-old also carded four birdies and
one bogey for a solid round of 67 at the Jumeirah Golf Estates.
Fox - who will be looking to move up from 34th in the European Tour's Race to Dubai rankings - will be chasing American Patrick Reed who carded a bogey-free seven-under par 65.
After struggling with his game in his last few tournaments, Fox said he was happy to play some good golf again.
