Ryan Fox narrowly missed out on a DP World Tour title at the weekend after sitting on top of the leader board on the final day of the the Soudal Open in Belgium.

Fox, from Beachlands, took a one-shot lead into the final round and briefly pulled three shots clear when he cancelled out a three-putt bogey at the par-three second by holing from 25 feet at the next for the first of three consecutive birdies, SkySports reported.

Englishman Sam Horsfield secured a third DP World Tour title and claimed a first victory since 2020 by coming through a final-round tussle with Fox.

Horsfield mixed four birdies with a lone bogey to card a final-round 68 and claim a two-shot victory at Rinkven International GC, ending the week on 13 under to secure a first title since the 2020 Cazoo Classic.

Horsfield spent the final day battling with Fox, SkySports reported, who bogeyed his final hole to close a final-round 71 and finish tied-second with Germany’s Yannik Paul.
