*** 2026 The Open Championship Royal Birkdale***

Foxs approach shot was one he will remember as much as that putt. Golf is a game of execution when you have to. And Ryan did.
Man, that’s a win for taking care of business out on the course.
Hit it and get it.
Hit it and get it.
22 seconds after Burns holed out Fox holed in. That is extreme confidence and not over think.
It makes sense. How many guys have lost majors because they get in their own head? Too much analysis creates doubt. Stick with your initial instinct and hit the ball.
Ryan Fox live in Florida.
bend the Rules for a USA Ryder Cup appearance.
He’s gritty as all hell

Fox is ranked 22nd in the world rankings after this win, he was 56th last week. There are still 11 Americans ranked higher than him currently. Plus there is still like 14 months until the Ryder Cup. He might not finish in the top 10 of any tournament between now and then.
You’re kinda missing my point.
USA is 3-9 this century.
Ryan Fox has grit. He faced adversity with bad bunker luck and did nothing but stare it in the face on 18 and couldn’t wait to:
Pipe his drive on 18.
Absolutely Pure his 176 yard 9 iron.
And line up and make the putt of his life …..in a mere 22.68 seconds after Burns holed his putt.
Give me that all day every day.
Or we can keep losing with more talented yet severely punchless softies.
He'll be competing against usa in the president's cup later this year. Let's see if he has grit in that.
Apples and Oranges, my friend.
I’ve been to 3 Ryder Cups. Once in France.
Amazing experiences.
I can’t even remember watching more than highlights of a President’s Cup on TV.
If he can't handle competing against the USA in the president's cup, then he can't handle competing for the USA against Europe. I don't think he'll be up for it.
Depends who he’s up against.
But he sure has his “handle” on The Claret Jug….which is probably full of Speight’s Gold Medal Ale right now.
As I said, the U.S. is soft vs the Europeans.
2027 at Adare Manor in Ireland will be another L.
The only way the US doesn't lose is if Furyk is able to light a fire under everyone's asses. I don't expect it though.
And in this example, we see exactly why these guys are professionals
