Golf: Ryan Fox starts strong in WGC Match Play debut on the PGA ... (New Zealand Herald)

Fox, the 29th seed, beat 37th seed Harris English 2 up to move to 1-0, with two birdies and an eagle enough to see off English. Fox never trailed in the match, ...

Matt Kuchar, at 44 the oldest player in the field, outlasted Viktor Hovland and won his 35th match, one short of the career tournament record held by Tiger Woods. Rickie Fowler took him down on the 17th hole, the first time Rahm has lost in the opening round. “It’s sort of everything, getting used to where to go to eat, getting to know some guys, getting used to the style of golf course. I capitalised on a couple of mistakes, one on 12 from Harris and another one on four. It’s a bit different than what I grew up with in New Zealand and to what we play in Europe at times. It was nice to get a win.”

Golf fans react to jaw-dropping tee shot (The Comeback)

Ryan Fox produced an epic tee shot on the 13th hole of his Wednesday match at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

Without his win on 13, English would have had the chance to tie the match on the 18th hole. [March 22, 2023] Fox, though, decided it was worth the risk. At 305 yards, the hole is certainly driveable. As such, players are often willing to try more aggressive, risky shots. In a normal round of golf, a bad shot can be costly.
