New Zealand’s Ryan Fox is in position to make the most of a late change of plans after claiming the clubhouse lead in the Saudi International.

Fox completed a second consecutive 65 at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club shortly before play was suspended for the day following an earlier two-hour delay due to bad weather.
