Ryan Fox continues to impress in his European Challenge Tour debut posting his second top-10 in as many starts at this week’s Scottish Hydro Challenge.

"RyanThe two time PGA Tour of Australasia winner
jumped 12 places on the leader board Sunday to finish T10 and ensure another
start this week.

Fox’s T5 finish last week earned him a
place in this week’s field and he will now have the option to tee up again next
week thanks to his final round 68.

It was a good week for the Australasian
contingent in Scotland with Terry Pilkadaris and Scott Arnold also both making
the cut and finishing in the top-30.

Both Pilkadaris and Arnold shot 67 on
Sunday, the equal best round of the day, the score moving Pilkadaris 36 places
up the leader board to T22.
The West Australian opened with a 68 to be just outside the top-10 through 18
holes but struggled through the middle 36 holes with scores of 71-73.

Arnold, whose consistency seems to have
improved this year, was in good shape through the first two days by stumbled
with a Saturday 74.

His final round 67 got him back on track
and he moved up 32 places on the leader board to be T30.

Terry Pilkadaris remains the highest ranked
Australasian on the Order of Merit at 29th but Ryan Fox has made an
immediate impact to be 37th through just two events.

The top-15 money winners at the end of the
year earn automatic promotion to the European Tour while the top-45 retain
playing privileges for the Challenge Tour.

Scott Arnold is 69th after five
events of the season.
