Ryan Fox's Blunt Message on RBC Canadian Open Playoff Catches Attention
Ryan Fox's Blunt Message on RBC Canadian Open Playoff Catches Attention originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It was a wild weekend north of the border at the RBC Canadian Open, where 38-year-old Ryan Fox sank a dramatic 17-foot birdie on the 72nd hole to force a playoff. Advertisement In the playoff, Fox and Sam Burns traded blows through four extra holes. On the fourth, back on the 18th, Fox delivered a clutch approach shot that set up the winning putt and secured the title. With the win, Fox claimed $1.764 million in prize money. This marks Fox's second career PGA Tour victory, both coming in his last four starts. Speaking to the media after his win, Fox was still riding the adrenaline. "That shot I hit on 18 ... probably the best shot I've ever hit." His message caught the attention of many golf fans: This fan started it: "Ridiculous shot. What a gutsy win. Gotta love it." Another added on here: "He seems like such a great guy, who hit a great shot at the right time! He proves you don't need to stand over the ball for a minute before you hit! Love his style and pace of play!" Advertisement "Special under pressure! Congrats RF!" this fan mentions "Big shot to win," this golf enthusiast says. "That's fantastic - needed to see it to believe it." said another. One more from a golf fan: "Yeah that's unreal." Ryan Fox holds the winner's trophy after defeating Sam Burns.© Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Fox's first PGA Tour win came at the Myrtle Beach Classic, where he chipped in a birdie from just beyond 50 feet on the first playoff hole to defeat Mackenzie Hughes and Harry Higgs. Despite his recent success, Fox has yet to break through at a major. His best finish remains a T-16 at the 2019 Open Championship. He didn't play in this year's Masters but made the cut and finished T-28 at the PGA Championship in May. Advertisement Sam Burns, for his part, made his presence felt with a Sunday surge. After shooting a pair of 66s and a 68 over the first three days, Burns fired a sensational 62 in the final round to reach 18-under. He and Fox edged out Kevin Yu by a single stroke. Burns has five career PGA Tour victories and reached as high as No. 9 in the world rankings in 2022. He's made the cut in both majors so far this season and is hoping to build on his top-10 finish from last year. Meanwhile, it was a tough outing for 2025 Masters champion Rory McIlroy. A second-round 78 left him at +9, missing the cut. With the Canadian Open wrapped up, the golf world now shifts focus to Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, the site of the U.S. Open starting Thursday.
