Golf: 'It's going to be a beat-up' - Ryan Fox on US Open

For the second time this season Fox has qualified for a major by winning the week before . The 38-year-old won the Canadian Open in Toronto on Monday (NZT) in a four hole play-off. He became the second New Zealand winner of the tournament following Sir Bob Charles in 1968, and will now be hoping to become the second New Zealander to win the US Open following Michael Campbell in 2005. A month ago Fox won the Myrtle Beach Classic to qualify him for the US PGA Championship. Having never played there, Fox has heard the Oakmont course is going to be challenging. "I've seen enough stuff on social media and talked to a couple of guys that went early this week and it sounds like it's going to be a beat-up, which will be fun."

Photo: Koji Aoki / PHOTOSPORT Fox travelled south to the United States on Monday and was planning on having two practice rounds on the course before the start of the tournament. "I've heard it is a fantastic golf course, it's hard, the greens are tricky and 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 from [the Canadian Open]. I don't think 18-under is going to be needed. I like that style of golf, maybe not every week, but it is fun to play every now and again and you know that par is a good score." Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania was hosting the US Open for the 10th time, known as being one of the toughest tests in golf. It had the longest par-three in major golf at 275 metres, while the two par-fives were 558 and 577 metres. The last time the US Open was played at Oakmont in 2016, Dustin Johnson won with a four-under par score, with just four players finishing under par. Fox has played the US Open six times, missing the cut three times, with his best result a tie for 41st in 2018. While Fox had won twice in the last month, American world number one Scottie Scheffler had won three of his past four starts and was the favourite for this week's tournament.
