Kiwi Ryan Fox has made a strong start to the Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour, with a late bogey costing him the chance to finish in a share of the lead.

Fox carded a three-under 68 at the Innisbrook Resort in Florida, with his only blemish coming at the 18th hole.

Fox sits one back from a five-way tie at the top, in a share of sixth place.

He started one-under on the front nine with a birdie at the par-three eighth before recording three more three birdies on the back nine, moving to four-under.

An errant tee shot on the 18th saw him drop a shot to move back to three-under.

On the DP World Tour, heavy rain delayed the start of the Porsche Singapore Classic featuring Kiwis Daniel Hillier and Kazuma Kobori,

The first round will now begin today.
