New Zealand golfer Ryan Fox has continued his solid start to the PGA Tour season.
Fox did not make a charge during the final round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday (Monday NZ Time) but managed to finish in a five-way tie for 24th.
LATEST HEADLINES:
The 39-year-old carded a three-under 69 on the final day at the Pebble Beach Golf Links in California, finishing at 14-under, eight strokes behind the winner, American Collin Morikawa.
In an eventful round, Fox made seven birdies and four bogeys for his third straight round in the 60s.
Starting Sunday eight shots off the lead, he posted three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the front-nine, with a bogey in between.
Back-to-back bogeys at the ninth and 10th holes moved him back to even-par for the day, before birdies at the 12th, 14th, 16th and 18th holes, along with another bogey.
With his second straight T24, Fox moved up 25 places in the FedEx Cup rankings to 59th.

Campbell dropped 10 spots into a share of 17th at 12-under after an even-par 72 - including five birdies, a bogey and two double-bogeys - at The Grange Golf Club - West Course.
