Ryan Fox has rocketed out to the lead after the opening round of the Ras Al Khaimah Classic in the UAE.
The big-hitting Kiwi carded a nine-under 63 to match the course record at the Al Hamra Golf Club. It also tied the lowest round of his DB World Tour (formerly European Tour) career.
Fox sits two shots ahead of Portugal's Ricardo Gouveia, while nine players are locked in a tie for third at six-under.
Having missed the cut last week after struggling with back issues, Fox showed no ill effects as he sunk 10 birdies and just one bogey.
"It was nice to get in the zone, I just felt like I had control of the golf ball," Fox said after his round.
