At 39 years old, Fox won The Open Championship for his first major title, his third PGA TOUR win, and one of the most unlikely major victories golf has ever seen. After two rounds at Royal Birkdale, Fox was tied for 52nd. By Sunday night, he was holding the trophy. Trey Wingo reacts to Fox’s historic comeback, his 72nd-hole birdie to edge Cameron Young, and why this win was not just a great finish — it was a career-defining moment. The Record Ryan Fox did not just win The Open. He pulled off the largest 36-hole comeback by position in men’s major championship history. After sitting T-52 through two rounds, Fox shot into contention with a Saturday 62, then finished the job on Sunday with four birdies in his final six holes. That included the birdie on 18 that gave him the championship by one. The Rarity Fox also joined a very short list of golfers who have won their first major at 39 or older in the last 30 years. Trey breaks down why that matters, what it says about Fox’s career, and why this was not some random one-week story. Fox had already won twice on the PGA TOUR in 2025, both times in playoffs, and he brought that same toughness into the biggest moment of his career. The Legacy Ryan Fox became just the second player from New Zealand to win The Open Championship, joining Bob Charles in 1963. Trey looks at Fox’s athletic background, his New Zealand roots, his pace of play, and the calm mentality that helped him handle bad breaks, pressure, and one of the toughest closing stretches in golf. The Chasers Cameron Young shot 64 on Sunday and still came up short. Sam Burns had the lead and another major chance, but could not close. Scottie Scheffler had one of the strangest final rounds of the week. Bryson DeChambeau’s penalty controversy still hung over the weekend. Trey breaks down how all of it shaped the final round at Royal Birkdale. The Major Season Is Over The Open Championship was the final major of the year, which means golf now waits roughly nine months for the next major at Augusta. Trey explains why he still believes the PGA Championship belongs back in August, why the current major schedule feels too compressed, and why golf is better when the major season has more room to breathe. Ryan Fox won The Open. He made New Zealand history. And he pulled off one of the greatest comebacks major championship golf has ever seen. More Straight Facts Homie!
