Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has held his nerve to finish strong in the second round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. 

After starting the round two-over through three, Fox has bounced back with three birdies on the back nine to card and even-par round. He sits in a share of six at four-under for the tournament, four shots behind leader Jhonattan Vegas. 

This follows a week after he became just the 9th Kiwi male player to win a USPGA Tour event with his success at the Myrtle Beach Classic. 

Another member of that exclusive club is Phil Tataurangi, who joined Piney to discuss Fox's good form.
