Photo: Julian Avram/Icon Sportswire In-form Auckland golfer Ryan Fox is on his way to Pennsylvania for the US Open, hoping to have a bit of fun in the third major of the year. 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." The 2016 U.S. Open Championship at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, United States of America. 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.

Paul McGinley makes honest admission as he opens up on biggest regret of career
Dublin-born golf star Paul McGinley has candidly expressed that his defeat in the World Match Play Championship final remains the "biggest regret" of his illustrious career. Despite being a four-time European Tour winner, McGinley, 58, still feels the sting from the Surrey-based Match Play tournament, which boasted a whopping £1 million prize pot and ran until 2014. The 2005 final saw McGinley's erratic driving give the upper hand to New Zealand's Michael Campbell, resulting in a 2&1 loss for the Irishman, despite having overcome players such as Luke Donald and Angel Cabrera to put himself in contention. In a chat on the Sliced Podcast in March, Ryder Cup icon McGinley reflected on the nuances between match play and stroke play, as well as his lingering sentiments about the match from two decades ago, as per Belfast Live. "I felt if the world of professional golf was 99 per cent matchplay golf rather than stroke-play, I feel I would've had a better career," he admitted. "I was good head-to-head, I understand moments, I love the cut and thrust of looking your opponent in the eye, playing with him. In a lot of ways I enjoy playing against an opponent rather than the golf course. "I found it hard to concentrate for 72 holes and my matchplay record was very good, not just in the Ryder Cup. Even the World Matchplay. "I got beaten in the final one year [2005] - the one time I got to it, by Michael Campbell, probably the biggest regret of my career. Yeah it's always something I enjoyed, and the Ryder Cup has been kind to me." McGinley is a huge name in Ryder Cup history, having made three consecutive appearances in 2002, 2004, and 2006, with Team Europe emerging victorious each time. In the 2010 and 2012 editions of the event, McGinley served as vice-captain to Colin Montgomerie and Jose Maria Olazabal respectively. However, it was in the 2014 Ryder Cup that he was named captain. Under his leadership, the European team defeated the American side, captained by Tom Watson, by a winning margin of 161⁄2 to 111⁄2. "I've got a lot to thank for the Ryder Cup," he added. "I've had a good career, you know, top 20 in the world, and won tournaments, but Ryder Cup, that's my brand. Would my career have gone on to what it is without the Ryder Cup? Probably not." McGinely's love for the competition is so strong that he expressed his disappointment in late 2024 after reports suggested that Team USA would share a £4 million prize pot at the 2025 tournament in New York. Traditionally, players were not paid for their participation in the Ryder Cup, yet American stars could now earn a $200,000 (€175k) stipend, and $300,000 (€262k) for them to distribute to charity, as reported by the Telegraph in November. "I personally don't like it," McGinley told Sky Sports in 2024. "I know they are professional sportsmen but, boy oh boy, are they not getting paid enough money at the moment, with all that's going on in the game?"

DocuFilms Celebrates Four Wins at the 2025 Telly Awards for Two Powerful Documentaries About New Mexico
SANTA FE, N.M., May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Santa Fe-based nonprofit production company DocuFilms has been honored with four prestigious Telly Awards, recognizing two of its recent documentary films for their excellence in storytelling, music, and social impact. "Eating History: A Taste of New Mexico," which recently premiered on NMPBS, co-produced with the New Mexico Museum Foundation, earned a Silver Telly Award for Documentary. The film explores the deep and complicated cultural roots and rich culinary traditions that define New Mexico, offering viewers a savory journey through the state's vibrant food heritage. "Moving Arts: Setting Hearts Ablaze," an emotionally resonant film centered on the transformative work of Moving Arts Española, swept three major categories: Silver Telly Award – Documentary Silver Telly Award – Original Score Silver Telly Award – Social Impact Directed by New Mexico native, Zac Cornfield, both films spotlight the power of storytelling to educate, inspire, and uplift communities. "When we began the journey of documenting Moving Arts, I thought we'd be telling the story of a children's arts program," said Cornfield. "Instead, we uncovered a deeper narrative — one about healing, resilience, and the power of creativity to reshape lives. 'Art is Medicine' became our North Star, and this film is both a tribute to that idea and a love letter to filmmaking itself." Michael Campbell, co-founder and Executive Producer of DocuFilms, added:"Our mission has always been to tell powerful stories with lasting impact. These awards reflect the spirit, soul, and creativity of New Mexico — and the extraordinary people who make it what it is." "Moving Arts: Setting Hearts Ablaze" will celebrate its Santa Fe premiere this summer.
