Srixon staffer Ryan Fox captured his first major championship title on Sunday, winning The Open
Championship at Royal Birkdale and etching his name into golfing history with a breakthrough performance on one of the game’s biggest stages.
Fox delivered a complete performance throughout the week, combining power, precision and creativity to secure the coveted Claret Jug.
“This is unbelievable, to be honest. I don’t really know what to think at the moment. My nerves are allover the place and I’m not quite sure how I hit that putt on 18. It is a dream come true. Looking at this trophy now, it’s the first time I’ve seen it up close and it’s pretty amazing.”
Fox’s victory also highlighted the impact of several key equipment additions that found their way into his bag in recent weeks. Working closely with Srixon’s Tour staff, Fox incorporated multiple prototype products into competition, including the new Srixon 3-wood at The Open, a new Srixon long iron at the Genesis Scottish Open and the new Srixon Driver, which first entered play during the Travelers Championship.
His approach play was complemented by the Z-STAR XV golf ball, whose combination of speed, stability and greenside control proved championship-worthy in the fast-running conditions, helping Fox execute the shots he needed throughout the week.
Fox’s winning Srixon and Cleveland Golf setup at The 154th Open included:
- Driver: New Srixon Driver 10.5°
- FW: New Srixon 3-wood 15°
- Irons: ZXi7 4-PW
- New prototype 3 iron
- Wedges: Cleveland Golf RTZ - 50° mid, 56° mid, 60° low
- Ball: Z-STAR XV
Fox’s victory continues the winning tradition of Srixon and Cleveland Golf equipment in the biggest moments and further validates the brands’ performance at the highest level of competition.
