Fox reflected on turning his attention to competing in the major after securing a victory in Toronto. "I saw enough stuff on social media and talked to a couple guys who went earlier this week, and it sounds like it's going to be a proper beat up. It will be fun," Fox noted in a press conference on Sunday after winning the Canadian Open. Advertisement "I've heard it's a fantastic golf course. It's hard, the greens are tricky. They're going to be running scary fast. From what it looks like, the rough is straight hack out. It's going to be a little different than this week," Fox added. "... Probably going to take it easy on Monday and try to figure out Oakmont in two days and see what happens. It's nice to be in the field, that's for sure."

PGA Tour Pro Hits 'Best Shot in my Life' to Win RBC Canadian Open
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ryan Fox won the 2025 RBC Canadian Open spectacularly, claiming his second PGA Tour title in less than a month. The New Zealander withstood a tremendous charge from Sam Burns during the final round and then defeated him in a hard-fought four-hole playoff. Fox's victory was, of course, the result of many successful shots. However, as is often the case, one shot in particular determined the final outcome. "It's the best shot I've ever hit in my life," Fox summed it up. 'That shot I hit on 18 ... probably the best shot I've ever hit."@RyanFoxGolfer sealed the deal with this shot on the fourth playoff hole @RBCCanadianOpen. — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 8, 2025 This was the second shot of the fourth playoff hole, which was played on the 576-yard, par-5 18th hole at TPC Toronto. Fox left the ball 255 yards from the pin with his tee shot, and from there, he executed a superb wood shot that barely moved after hitting the green, stopping just seven feet from the hole. Fox had a chance to win with his third shot because Burns's ball was 39 feet from the hole. However, the New Zealander missed his seven-foot eagle putt, and the tension rose to a fever pitch as the American got back into contention, leaving his ball nine feet from the hole for a birdie putt on his next shot. But, Burns missed his putt, and Fox birdied the hole, lifting the RBC Canadian Open's trophy. Ryan Fox of New Zealand plays a shot on the ninth hole during the final round of the RBC Canadian Open 2025 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on June 08, 2025 in Caledon, Ontario. Ryan Fox of New Zealand plays a shot on the ninth hole during the final round of the RBC Canadian Open 2025 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on June 08, 2025 in Caledon, wasn't the only opportunity the American missed. On the first hole of the playoff, he missed a five-foot birdie putt that would have won him the tournament. "Sam let me off the hook big time there that first playoff hole," Fox said after his victory. "I'd almost given him that. We had a couple scrappy holes there, and then to hit the shot I hit on 18 on the fourth playoff, it was pretty surreal. It's the best shot I've ever hit in my life. There's nothing close to that." Sam Burns started Sunday in a tie for 16th place, but climbed to the top of the leaderboard by firing a final-round 62. Fox, the 54-hole leader, maintained his position by carding a 66. The New Zealander added his victory at the RBC Canadian Open to his title at the Myrtle Beach Classic last March, which he also won in a playoff. His victory at TPC Toronto paved the way for his seventh US Open appearance next week. More Golf: Lefty Ready for Final US Open amid Catching Fire at LIV Golf Virginia
