Starting his round on the back nine, things got off to a perfect start for the Kiwi with a birdie on the par-four 10th.
However, he gave that shot straight back to the course on the par-four 11th, again getting caught by the native area off the tee and having to take a drop.
He was one-under for the day after eight holes with three birdies and two bogeys, however, three bogeys in a row at the turn saw him fall down the leaderboard.

He dropped another shot on his 15th hole of the day – the par three sixth – but finished up with three pars, including on the eighth and ninth holes which were playing as the toughest holes of the morning.
When he finished, Fox sat in a tie for 67th – which is likely to change as the rest of the day’s golf unfolds.
