Ryan Fox and Daniel Hillier line up for the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth looking for an improved showing after failing to make the cut last week at the Irish Open.
Fox is the defending champion at the tournament which is held at the Wentworth Club in Surrey.

He labelled the victory as his "best achievement in golf", was made even more special for Fox by the fact his family were there to see it.
While the 37-year-old has enjoyed a solid season on both the DP World Tour and PGA Tour, securing two top-ten finishes across the pond, he has not tasted victory since his last visit Fox has been searching for top form.
"Looking back on it, obviously I feel a great sense of pride. That was easily my biggest event in golf. You know, bigger than playing my first Major, anything like that. Best achievement in golf," said the Aucklander.
"I came back last week in Northern Ireland and there were some signs - I struggled with the putter but tee-to-green was actually pretty solid.
"So it's nice to come back to a place with some great vibes after last year and hopefully that kind of kick-starts it all for me.
"I've got a decent run potentially in the States coming up, as well. So hopefully this is the week to find a little bit of form in that respect and I'd love to be in the mix again come Sunday afternoon."
Fox plays his opening round alongside world No 3 Rory McIlroy and home favourite Justin Rose.
Hillier is teamed with England's Jordan Smith and Germany's Yannk Paul for the first round.
