NEWTON – It perhaps wasn’t the low score Landon Fox was hoping for but he is still in the hunt. The Barton Community College sophomore opened the NJCAA National Golf Meet with a 79, putting him in 70th place as he chases at a top 20 finish and All-American honors.It may be a tall task for Barton’s only golfer to climb his way back into the top 20 but he is still in the hunt with three more rounds to play on a course where he has shot good scores before.In fact the 79 was the worst of the competitive rounds he has played at Sand Creek Station this year. At the Jayhawk Conference Championships this year Fox finished tied for fourth with rounds of 72-72-76.Fox was cruising along at 1-over par after his birdie on the 467-yard, Par 4, 6th hole but a double bogey on eight put him at 3-over 39 for the front side.
