Fox leads the way

New Zealand’s Ryan Fox is on the brink of a second European Tour title this season after snatching the lead in the third round of the Soudal Open in Belgium. The 35-year-old shot a fiveunder 66 to be 11-under par overall, one shot ahead of England’s Sam

Horsfield. Fox, who won the biggest title of his career, the Ras Al Khaimah

Classic in February, said he

‘‘played really sold in the back nine, didn’t miss a shot, holed a couple of putts as well’’. ‘‘I hope I’ve figured something out after a couple of scrappy drives early in the round and felt pretty good from the 10th hole on so hopefully I can take that into tomorrow.’’
