Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has grabbed another top 10 finish on the DP World Tour but will be disappointed with a final round effort at the Catalunya Championship in Spain that saw him slip down the leaderboard.
Fox shot a one-over 73, his worst round of the week, to finish five shots back from eventual winner Adris Arnaus who defeated overnight leader Oliver Bekker in a playoff.
Home favourite Arnaus won a six-hole playoff and claim his first European tour win. He trailed Bekker by seven shots at the start of the day but a final round of seven-under 65 pulled him level. In the playoff Arnaus and Becker made par on five trips to the 18th hole. But when they went to the 17th Bekker's bogey gave Arnaus the title.
Fox began the day in fifth place and started to make a run for the title with back-to-back birdies at the seventh and eighth holes before two bogeys at the following two holes halted his charge.
The world number 113 finished two-over on the back nine with four bogeys and two birdies to finish the tournament at six-under.
