After a breakthrough European tour win New Zealand golfer Ryan Fox has received a late call up to the Mexico Championship which is part of the lucrative World Golf Championship circuit.
Having initially planned a week off before next week's New Zealand Open Fox is now heading to Mexico City, after gaining a place in the field following the withdrawal of Andrew Putnam.
The WGC-Mexico Championship has $14.5 million prize pool and starts on Friday morning.
Fox won the World Super 6 tournament in Perth on Sunday night which has lifted him to 66 in the world.

The 72-strong Mexico field includes Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Phil Mickelson.
The event will also offer Fox vital world ranking points ahead of the 2019 major championships where the top 50 players in the world gain automatic entry.
