well to set up birdie opportunities.

"If you want to give yourself birdie opportunities you
need to be driving the ball well," said Cox.

"I felt like I gave myself plenty of chances today, I
didn’t take all of them, but I gave myself every chance."

Cox was pleased to get a hear earned win on the PGA of
Australia Pro-Am Series.

"It’s great to rack up a win on the Mining Town Series
Circuit, it isn’t that easy with the scores the other guys are shooting," added
Cox.

"Exceptional golf is required these days to walk away
with a win. Hopefully I can continue on with this form heading into Middlemount
on Wednesday and give it a shake."

halfway mark when Professionals tee off on Wednesday at the Middlemount Pro-Am.
