Ryan Fox of Auckland, New Zealand has won the 2025 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic. It was one of two PGA Tour events that completed on Sunday. Sepp Straka of Vienna, Austria won the 2025 Truist Championship in Philadelphia.
Fox won his first PGA Tour event. He needed a playoff to be victorious. The other two golfers who made the playoff were Canadian Mackenzie Hughes of Hamilton, Ontario, and American Harry Higgs of Camden, New Jersey.
Fox, Hughes and Higgs were all -15. Kevin Yu of Taoyuan, Taiwan was alone in fourth place at -14. Niklas Norgaard of Copenhagen, Denmark was tied for fifth place at -13 with American Alex Smalley. Then, there was a six-way tie for seventh place at -12. There you could find Rico Hoey of Manila, Philippines, Matti Schmid of Regensburg, Germany, Sami Valimaki of Nokia, Finland, Thorbjorn Olesen of Hareskovby, Denmark, and Americans Mark Hubbard of Denver, Colorado, and Hayden Buckley of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
In the four rounds over the weekend, Fox had a first round score of six-under-par 65, a second round score of one-under-par 70, a third round score of three-under-par 68, and a fourth round score of five-under-par 66.
Fox had one eagle in the tournament. That came on Friday in the second round as he posted a score of three on the par five 15th hole. Fox had a 312 yard tee shot that landed in the right rough, and a miraculous approach shot that went 230 yards, and landed two feet and two inches from the hole.
However, the shot everyone is talking about is the birdie shot Fox made in the playoff. He made a putt from the intermediate that went 53 feet and six inches to get into the winner’s circle.
