PGA Tour winner Ryan Fox comes from a family of champions in New Zealand

Ryan Fox captured his first PGA Tour victory on Sunday in South Carolina by winning a playoff at the Myrtle Beach tournament.
Fox secured a spot in the playoff when Mackenzie Hughes dropped a stroke with a bogey on the final hole, and Fox then made an impressive birdie chip from approximately 54 feet on the opening playoff hole.
Fox finished the tournament 15-under-par with rounds marked by early consistency and a final round of 66, while Hughes and Harry Higgs missed key putts.
The victory secured Fox a two-year PGA Tour exemption, spots at the upcoming PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and the Memorial Tournament, and moved him up 76 places in FedEx Cup rankings.
This win provides Fox career stability in the U.S. and reflects his progression beyond his family's sporting legacy in New Zealand.
