A dramatic back-nine looks to have saved Ryan Fox from the cut at the PGA Tour tournament in Las Vegas.


Fox carded a two-under 69 in the second round at the Shriner’s Childrens Open at TPC Summerlin on Friday (Saturday NZ Time) to be just above the projected cut-line.

The 37-year-old bogeyed the first three holes to be three-over, before a birdie on the sixth hole.


With the projected cut at two-under, Fox was not looking good at the turn.


He birdied the 10th, then the 13th and 15th holes, before an eagle three on the par-five 16th to get to four-under.


Fox bogeyed the 17th before a par on the final hole to finish at three-under, tied 49th and seven strokes off the lead of Canadian Taylor Pendrith.


The bulk of the field has not finished their second rounds as darkness preventing further play, with the chance the cut-line could move.


On the DP World Tour, Daniel Hillier sits in a tie for 10th after two rounds of the Andalucia Masters in Spain.


Hillier is tied for 11th at seven-under, eight shots off the lead after a round which six birdies, a bogey and double-bogey.
