Fox comes back to take lead

ANTWERP: Ryan Fox birdied the 18th hole to take a oneshot lead into the final round of the Soudal Open overnight.

The New Zealander bogeyed early in his third round at Rinkven International to slip further off the pace, but birdied his next hole, and reeled off five more coming home in a fiveunderpar 66.

Fox won his second European tour title in February in the United Arab Emirates, and has two top10s this month.

Fox was at 11under overall, one shot ahead of Horsfield, the coleader in the first two rounds.

The English golfer was one off the lead after a bogey on the ninth, then two in front after a birdie on the 11th. But he parred the rest of the way for a second straight 69.

Yannik Paul, of Germany, had sole hold of third at 9 under after a birdiebirdie finish for a 68. He has an eye on his first tour win. — AP
