Hey golf fans,

Ryan Fox (-10/1st) is your Open champion. Sure, he didn’t have it easy. A record-tying 62 catapulted him into the final pairing with Sam Burns. But… Fox was sliding down the leaderboard on Sunday. Fox ultimately won by one shot over Cameron Young. And that too thanks to a birdie on the 18th hole. He threw his arms in the air as his caddie hunched down in disbelief. Beyond the dramatic finish—and Bryson’s lost ball on the 11th—much happened on Sunday. Catch up on it below.
