Kiwi world No 28 Ryan Fox, finished fifth in the Race to Dubai standings ensuring he’d done enough to qualify him for his first PGA Tour card.
Fox took home NZ$102,000 for his 34th-equal placing at Jumeirah Golf Estates in the DP World Tour Championship, carding a final round of two-under-par 70.
And Fox is obviously ready to hit the tour with high expectations.
“My experiences on the PGA Tour have taught me that I can compete with the best guys in the world,” Fox told the PGA Tour website.
“Golf is just getting stronger and stronger at the moment. We’ve had so many young guys out here it was just nice to prove that as an older guy I can still compete a little bit with those young guys. It’s nice to take that opportunity.”
The other golfers earning their PGA Tour cards after Sunday’s tournament were: Adrian Meronk (4th in Race to Dubai standings), Fox (5th), Victor Perez (7th), Thorbjorn Olesen (9th), Alexander Bjork (11th), Sami Valimaki (12th), Robert MacIntyre (13th), Matthieu Pavon (15th), Jorge Campillo (16th) and Ryo Hisatune (17th).
