May 11, 2025; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA; Ryan Fox celebrates his playofff win during the final round of the Myrtle Beach Classic golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images New Zealand’s Ryan Fox completed a furious comeback Sunday by prevailing in a three-man playoff at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic in South Carolina to win his first PGA Tour event.
“I always felt like my game was good enough to compete with the best in the world, and I got to show it a bit today,” Fox said. “To get that win is extra special.”
Fox fired a 5-under-par 66 on the day to finish at 15-under 269 at Dunes Golf and Beach Club, forcing a three-way tie with Canada’s Mackenzie Hughes and Harry Higgs.
In the playoff, the 38-year-old chipped in from the edge of the green on No. 18 to secure a birdie, knock Hughes and Higgs out of contention and earn a spot in this week’s PGA Championship in Charlotte.
“It changes the plans a little bit,” he said. “I might have a little bit of a hangover tomorrow.”
Fox had never finished in the top three on the PGA Tour — three top-10 finishes served as his career highlights — and he credited his ability to focus through his nerves and stick to his process.
“I know that’s really cliche, but it’s cliche for a reason. It works,” Fox said. “Go up, focus on just trying to hit the shot I’m going to hit and see what happens from there.”
Fox began the day three strokes behind leader Carson Young. When he reached the 17th tee, he trailed Hughes by two shots. He registered a birdie at 17 to pull even with Higgs and get within one shot of Hughes.
That birdie came after birdies on Holes 3, 10, 13 and 15 as Fox registered no bogeys on the day.
On the par-4 No. 18, with the tournament on the line, Hughes suffered a bogey to set the stage for the playoff. The defeat on the first extra hole was Hughes’ first PGA Tour playoff loss. Both of his Tour wins — the 2016 RSM Classic and 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship — had come in playoffs.
Hughes finished with six birdies and two bogeys in shooting a 4-under 67. Higgs started strong with three birdies over his first four holes, but he was even-par the rest of the way with two more birdies and two bogeys to finish 3 under.
“Yeah, I’ve got nothing to hang my head on here,” Higgs said. “I proved a lot to myself really today and the last couple of days, especially playing in the rain.”
Kevin Yu of Chinese Taipei finished a stroke off the pace at 14 under after his 6-under 65. Alex Smalley tied for fifth with Denmark’s Niklas Norgaard at 13 under.
Young dropped into a tie for 13th after shooting a 2-over 73.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer: 6 starting pitchers improperly valued right now, and how to take advantage
Starting pitchers are tough to assess during the initial weeks of the season, as both their fantasy numbers and underlying skill metrics tend to fluctuate wildly from one start to the next. Wise managers will stick with the tried-and-true K-BB% stat when looking for diamonds in the rough, and they will use noisy stats such as BABIP, strand rate and HR/FB rate to find the hurlers who are improperly valued on the Yahoo Trade Market.Here are six candidates who fit that description.Buy LowDylan Cease, San Diego PadresA manager who wants to buy low on Cease (4.60 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) can easily make a case that the inconsistent right-hander is having yet another down year. After all, while his strikeout totals have been consistent, Cease’s ratios have been anything but over the past five seasons. The reality is that his 2025 […]

Fantasy Baseball Rankings Movers: Jacob Wilson, Javier Baez surge; Moises Ballesteros adds to catcher surplus
Most every week, Scott White will highlight some of the more notable changes to his rest-of-season rankings. You'll find said rankings here and are urged to bookmark them if you haven't already. There's no better resource for gauging player value throughout the long season. You could ask 100 people what the weakest position in Fantasy Baseball is and get the same answer. Or maybe not, actually, because the answer is so obviously catcher that most respondents would presume you mean "aside from catcher." But something is happening at catcher this year. In leagues that require only one, there are way too many quality options to go around. The issue is exacerbated by the recent promotion of Moises Ballesteros, an impressive hitting talent who was batting .368 at Triple-A. He's arriving not long after Agustin Ramirez, another top catcher prospect who […]
