  Ep 198 - REPUBLISH - Ryan Fox Champion Golfer of the Year 2026

  Aug 14, 20261h 5mS10

  ***THIS IS A REPUBLISHED EPISODE FROM 2024*** Foxy is fresh off winning The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale and I thought it would be a great time to re listen to his podcast. With what he achieved in mind so much makes sense, his mindset is world class and he almost perfectly describes how he played the 18th at Birkdale by describing what he does under pressure. It is a cool listen, I do hope to get Foxy back on once the dust settles and do a follow up on this episode, but in the mean time I think you will both enjoy this and get a lot out of it.
