(Reuters) - Ryan Fox equalled the record for the lowest back nine at a British Open when he stormed home in 29 strokes at Royal Portrush on Thursday.

The world number 107, who is the son of former All Blacks flyhalf Grant Fox, was three over par after 11 holes and there were few signs of the fireworks that were to come.
