caps off a campaign to remember<\/a> for Fox, who had made it clear from the start of the season that playing in the Presidents Cup was his main goal this year. <\/p>\nFollowing on from his win at The Open in July, the Kiwi earned his maiden appearance in the PGA Tour Championship \u2013 limited to just the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings \u2013 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. <\/p>\n
Fox finished the tournament 26th, falling out of contention over his final two rounds, to earn a US$375,000 ($634,000) purse. <\/p>\n
