Ryan Fox won the RBC Canadian Open with a dramatic shot on the fourth extra hole at Oakdale Golf & Country Club. The decisive moment came when Fox hit a 3-wood to 7 feet, securing his victory.
Fox described the shot as “probably the best shot I’ve ever hit.” His impressive play was matched by Sam Burns, who tied him at -18 under par after finishing with a birdie on the final hole for a score of -10 under par (62).
The two golfers played against each other several times throughout their round, including twice through rain showers that caused delays. Despite these challenges, they continued to push each other to excel.
Burns had opportunities to win during overtime play but ultimately fell short. He missed putts from just over five feet and then ran one past by eight feet before tapping in for bogey after hitting his ball into thick rough near water off his drive onto No.
Meanwhile, Cameron Young tied Kevin Yu atop third place at +2 overall. Young’s strong performance came despite struggling early in his round to find fairways. He managed to shoot six-under-par today and secure his spot among the top three finishers.
Fox’s winning shot will be remembered as one of the highlights of this year’s tournament. He expressed confidence going into overtime play and was able to stay focused despite Burns’ strong performance, stating, “I felt like I had it pretty well sorted out.”
The win marked Fox’s second PGA Tour victory since joining last year from Europe’s DP World Tour circuit via LIV Golf’s merger with DP World Tour events being added back onto the PGA Tour schedule starting next season.
In addition to winning $1 million in prize money for himself, plus $100k per team member from partner fund manager BlackRock Inc., which has invested heavily into LIV Golf since its inception, Fox also earned 500 FedEx Cup points toward qualifying for next week’s BMW Championship outside Chicago. He will move up more than 50 spots in the world rankings released Monday morning.
