Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has showed some composure under pressure to turn around his first round at the latest European Tour event.

Fox sits in a tie for 58th after scoring a one-over par 72 at the inaugural Belgian Knockout this morning but it could've been much worse after he was sitting at three-over-par midway through his round.

However, back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17 means Fox now only trails the leaders by five shots.

The Belgian Knockout consists of a unique format - two rounds of strokeplay are followed up by the leading 64 players competing in nine-hole knockout strokeplay matches for the final two days.
