FOX TO -7!
He rolls in his short birdie putt perfectly in the center of the cup on 16 and the Kiwi is seven-under for the day and championship.
He has a par 5 next... Could we see another 62?
RYAN FOX'S MAJOR RECORD
From 28 Major starts, Fox has never had a top-10 but he has plenty of experience and solid results.
His best finish came at the 2019 Open at Royal Portrush, where he was T16th, while he also made ten consecutive Major cuts from 2023-2025.
He's a BMW PGA Championship winner and a very experienced player now, so perhaps this could be his week to put in a real challenge?
LIV GOLFERS HAVING A GOOD WEEK
There's a big LIV presence on the leaderboard here with Herbert 1st, DeChambeau T6th and Rahm and Detry in T9th.
BALLESTER SHOOTS 66
The LIV Golf star finished eagle-birdie yesterday to make the cut and he has gone out and shot four-under today to sit at -3 for the tournament.
From heading home early to now sitting inside the top-20. Very nice!
RYAN FOX ON THE CHARGE
The big-hitting New Zealander is six-under-par thru 15 today and has moved to within just two of the lead.
