357: Ryan Fox Is Champion Golfer of the Year! + Scottie On TIO Relief & Bryson’s Penalty
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, where 39-year-old Ryan Fox closed with an aggressive nine-iron to 11 feet on the 72nd hole and drained the birdie to win his first major, clearing Cam Young by a shot. They break down his decisive back nine and journey to the top: turning pro at 25, not reaching the PGA Tour full-time until age 37.
Plus: Cam Young's fateful bunker gamble on 18 and the way his narrative has shifted rhe past year, heartbreak for Sam Burns with another near-miss at a major, controversy surrounding Scottie Scheffler’s 17th-hole TIO ruling, a bigger picture discussion about rules enforcement in the wake of Bryson DeChambeau’s two-shot penalty, and whether Royal Birkdale's firm-and-fast setup played as a true links test.
