Get to know: Ryan Fox

With six events left of the European Challenge Tour season, we thought it was time to find out a bit more about Road to Oman Rankings Number Five, and Olympian, Ryan Fox.

<strong>Best round of golf you’ve ever played?</strong>

My last round in Northern Ireland this year where I shot 62 to win.

<strong>Dream fourball (yourself plus three)?</strong>

Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and probably my old man (former All Black Grant Fox).

<strong>Favourite golf course you’ve played? </strong>

A new one in New Zealand called Tara Iti Golf Club. It’s a links course right by the coast which is very, very nice.

<strong>Dream golf course to play?</strong>

Augusta

<strong>Which Major Championship would you most like to win?</strong>

The Masters

<strong>Which shot from your career would you like a mulligan on?</strong>

Probably the first New Zealand Open I played as a professional. I had a putt which I thought was to win and I ended up three-putting – so I would really like another crack at that.

<strong>Favourite film?</strong>

Just Star Wars – I can’t pick one!

<strong>If you could travel in time, where and when would you go to?</strong>

I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid. I couldn’t give you a place but I would just love to go back to that time and see one first hand – that would be pretty cool.

<strong>If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?</strong>

Someone like Ben Hogan. Would be cool to meet him just to talk about how different the game was back then.

<strong>Favourite city?</strong>

Auckland, that’s home.

<strong>Favourite holiday destination?</strong>

Fiji

<strong>Sporting hero?</strong>

Tiger Woods

<strong>You have just won the lottery. What is the first thing you buy?</strong>

A boat – I love fishing.

<strong>Three words to describe you</strong>

Relaxed and easy going.

<strong>What is in your golf bag?</strong>

The one thing that I have in my bag that’s unique is a fox head cover!
