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. -

I fell asleep after the second playoff hole (it was 11:30pm here) as watching on my phone in bed. Woke up about 2am with phone on my chest wondering what the hell was going on. First thing I did was check to see what happened.
Buzzing, so happy for him, clearly on a golden streak at the moment.
Obviously much more of a competitor than this, but the lad could probably sign with LIV now for multi millions and be set.

Foxy joins Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy & Ben Griffin as the only players with multiple wins on the PGA Tour this year.

Yes your right. Sepp won the American Express and The Truist Championship.

Rather brutal. Have heard some players saying +4 would be a decent score for the week

20 years since Cambo won his US Open at Pinehurst, he did so at even par, lookong at some of the footage of the course, I reckon the winner won't be too far off that.

I read an article the other day about Cambo with this year being 20 years since his victory and he went back to Pinehurst to revist the site of his victory for a documentary coming out on Sky soon called Dare To Be Different. He said during filming for the documentary he made his first trip back to Pinehurst since 2005 and said he was surprised by the reception he received from three of the biggest names in golf. Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele & Justin Thomas came up & chatted to him about his victory.

Feature groups (3 I think) coverage starts at 11ish tonight, general coverage from 4am tomorrow NZ time
Not sure which early tee groups are the features but there are certainly some good ones. Lowrey. Rory and Rose prob one of them. Bryson (hah maybe!) and Schaufelle (my pick to win) may be another.
Scottie of course is the man to beat. Hope Bryson turns up with the A game too.
Winning score prediction -4.
