New Zealander Ryan Fox’s recent breakthrough win on the PGA Tour has allowed him to play in Signature events such as this week’s Memorial Tournament at the Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin Ohio and the 38 year old has made a good start, being in a share of 12th place at the halfway stage of the US$20 million event.
Fox, who finished 28th in his only start since his win in Myrtle Beach three weeks ago, added a second consecutive round of 72 to be seven shots off the lead held by Canadian Nick Taylor and recent two-time winner of PGA Tour events, Ben Griffin.
Currently 66th in the FedEx Cup standings, Fox is projected to improve to 55th should he maintain his standing over the weekend, but, of course, that could go either way depending on how he finishes the week off.
For Fox it is his third appearance in the event hosted by Jack Nicklaus, having missed the cut in 2019 and 30th in 2023.
Min Woo Lee also improved his standing today bouncing back from an opening 76 with a round of 71 to be tied for 18th, with Adam Scott recording a round of 69 today in response to his opening 79.
Cam Davis was the only other Australasian in the field and finished well outside the cutline.
