Fox closed with a two-under 68 to finish level with seven others on eight-under par at the European Masters in Crans-sur-Sierre, six strokes off the pace.

England's Matthew Fitzpatrick emerged victorious after beating Australian Scott Hend in a play-off which stretched three holes.

Fox spent the tournament nestled in the top 10, with any bid to win spoiled by tallying a double bogey in each of the first three rounds.

Fox picked up prize money of 47,867 euros ($NZ79,200) to climb closer to a million euros for the season.

Statistically the longest hitter on tour, Fox will take his power game to the KLM Open in the Netherlands this week.
