It was a top 10 finish for Auckland golfer Ryan Fox on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n

Fox carded a final round four under par 67 to finish at 12 under and in a tie for seventh at the Genesis Invitational in California.<\/p>\n

He started the day in a share of ninth and opened with an eagle on the first hole before mixing the rest of his round with four birdies and two bogeys.<\/p>\n

American Jacob Bridgeman won the $33 million tournament at the Riviera Golf Course in Los Angeles by one shot.<\/p>\n

It is another good result for Fox on the PGA Tour this year after scoring top 25 finishes at both the Phoenix Open and the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.<\/p>\n

He pockets $1 million for today’s result, which takes his season earnings to $1.4 million.<\/p>\n

The result will help the Kiwi world number 49 to improve his FedEx Cup standing to inside the top 25.<\/p>\n
