Fox in s great position after a slow start. Short putt on 17 to equal leader.
18 is a par 5 so real chance to win …. As long as he sinks this putt!
-
Missed it by a fucking mile.
A @majorrage putt if ever I’ve seen one. Needs to birdie the 18th go force a play off.
Outside a serious meltdown, his us open entrance is set.
-
Laid up and has a chance for birdie …. But not a great chance. Here we go.
-
drained it...playoff time
-
Rad.
He’s looking really good. Trimmed some belly fat and his driving is superb.
His putt on the 18th looked missing the whole way but just caught the edge of the cup and dropped.
-
And of course …. He messes his drive.
Straight to a fairway bunker.
Not a big deal tho as both will prob lay up
-
Foxy missed, the other guy missed a very makeable one, go again
-
They go again...Foxy left the putt short, was very similr to the one he missed 10 mins earlier
-
he did it!
HAd a 3 or 4 ft eagle and 2 putts to win, used both putts
Edit- putt was more.like 6-8 ft
-
How good!! Way to go Foxy! Huge win for him.
Becomes the 2nd kiwi to win the Men's Canadian Open after Sir Bob Charles in 1968.
He earns himself almost $NZ 3 Million, 500 Fedex Cup points, a spot in next week's US Open, starts at the 2026 Masters, Players Championship, and PGA Championship as well as a PGA Tour exemption through till the end of 2027. -
Awesome result. Go go the Fox.
-
He just said the shot he hit into the green the last time was probably the best he's hit in his life.
Certainly a good one to hit at that moment!
@Chris-B was a cracker...shame he missed the putt, but looked slick and only needed to 2 putt

@taniwharugby I thought exactly the same.
But, the three wood was so good it forced an error from Burns.

I think that makes Fox the second kiwi (male) after Bob Charles to win 2 PGA tour events. I know the earlier one was a second tier event, but still a neat achievement.
I wonder if the extra security will help him to play more freely or if the pressure helped him to play his best.

@Cyclops I saw him get interviewed after 2nd or 3rd round of this tournament.
He said he has lost fear, or was more relaxed, so was prepared to take the slightly riskier shots after the first win.
Also remember seeing him say after the first one he was relaxed as a sportsman of his age to know he could play in USA for a couple of years pretty well set him up.
