Daniel Fox came agonisingly close to winning his home state’s PGA Championship in
2015 and five years later the goal remains. Intent on adding a TX Civil & Logistics WA PGA
Championship title to sit alongside his 2015 WA Open win, Fox will draw on positive past
experiences at Kalgoorlie Golf Course when he returns to compete against the best of the
west in 2020. Traditionally an extremely competitive player at his home events,
Fox will be one to watch.
