It took four holes in the playoffs, but Ryan Fox heads to the United States after all.

The victory marked the second in Fox’s career, both occurred this year, and he officially gave him one of the last places on the field during the major championship next week.

Fox, on the fourth hole in the playoffs, won his second blow just in front of the cup after taking the end of the outcome. This set up a two -stroke birdie, which was enough to seal his victory. Burns, who also landed on green par-5 in two, three strokes for his peer. The four holes in the playoffs were played on the 18th par-5.
“To be honest, Sam and I had a little pillow fight there for three holes. It was a fairly average golf course, a little putting,” said Fox on CBS. “But this blow that I hit on 18, 3-Bois, was probably the best blow I have ever struck.”
Burns, after having passed what was ever-like in the clubhouse, returned and had an excellent look to immediately end the playoffs on the first hole. But Burns, after turning his approach, resumed about 5 feet, sent his sawtreed look beyond the hole. This returned to him as well as Fox to the 18th TEE to make him go back.
The two guys have again linked to the second and third holes in the playoff series – Burns had to go up and down the third to stay alive – so they returned for a fourth hole. It was then that Fox finally sealed his victory.

Burns broke out early Sunday, despite the return of the leaders. He posted his 82 under 62, which marked his lowest final score in his tour career and was just a boost to the height of his career. Burns, after making the turn 2 under the day, shook five consecutive birdies on the nine rear. He struck five approach less than 10 feet from the cut on his back, en route around his 29th birthday. This gave him the advance of the clubhouse.
Then Burns had to wait. But while he was sitting there in the clubhouse while looking, his advance continued to hold. Cameron Young got closer several times, but he then made a bogey on the last hole after his approach in the par-5 went well in front of the green and in the trees.
Finally, however, Fox caught up with him. Fox, after having sorters consecutive at the end of its round, sank a 17 feet for birdie in the last hole to force the playoffs with burns.
Kevin Yu finished alone in third with 17 sous. Young and Matt McCarty finished equally for fourth with 16 sous.
