Ryan Fox lifted the RBC Canadian Open trophy on Sunday after a hard-fought battle with Sam Burns. He secured the victory on the fourth playoff hole with a birdie. It’s his second PGA win in five weeks, and it also earned him a spot in the U.S. Open this week.

The threat of surgery triggered a change in Ryan Fox. Toward the back end of his 2024 season, the Kiwi golfer was dealing with a hip injury. It wasn’t so much an issue of pain, but it was impacting his movement.

Ryan Fox of New Zealand won for the second time in five weeks on the PGA Tour with another memorable shot in a playoff, this time a 3-wood to 7 feet on the fourth extra hole Sunday to beat Sam Burns in the RBC Canadian Open.
