THOMASTOWN, Ireland (AP) — New Zealand’s Ryan Fox says he was surprised to find himself leading the Irish Open after the opening round despite his impressive form this season. Fox had eight birdies in a flawless 8-under 64 at Mount Juliet. The 56th-ranked Fox said a 64 did not look likely early in his round. He has a one-shot lead over Frederic Lacroix, Jorge Campillo, Fabrizio Zanotti and Marcel Schneider. Fox was third in the BMW International on Sunday.
