“My head’s in a pretty good place — ask me that on the first tee tomorrow and I might have a slightly different answer,” Fox said.

“I’ve put myself exactly where I want to be and it’s all on me tomorrow. Someone’s going to have to go something really low or I’m going to have to play poorly, so hopefully I can keep playing how I’ve played in the past few days and put it out of reach.”
