Ryan Fox has had a stunner of a year so far, with two PGA Tour wins and a Top 20 finish at the US Open under his belt – not to mention a world record. Fox has said a few times that he knew his best golf across a given weekend was enough to beat the best golfers in the world, which has been proven true. “I had kind of believed it, and it was nice to actually do it,” he told Piney. He’s back in town for a bit of a break, as well as to catch the Bledisloe Cup test tonight at Eden Park, and while they were on the subject of rugby, he touched on what it was like growing up as the son of All Blacks legend Grant Fox. As one might expect, rugby was one of the sports Fox played when he was younger, before he landed on golf. “Probably had a few too many concussions to carry on, but yeah, I loved it.” “I didn’t help myself – I played 10 and I kick goals as well, so there was only gonna be one comparison there, and I was never gonna live up to that.” “The only thing I had on the old man is I wasn’t afraid of tackling.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
