It's been a big day in the world of New Zealand golf, as Ryan Fox walks away with another sporting achievement.

A playoff victory at the Myrtle Beach Classic in South Carolina makes the 38-year-old just the ninth Kiwi to win on the Tour - and first in a decade.

NZ Open tournament director Michael Glading says this is a 'game-changing' moment for Fox.

"It's just fantastic for him - he was in a position a couple of years ago where he could have joined the LIV, but he chose to go on the PGA tour because ever since he was a kid, he wanted to play the PGA Tour."
