The 36-year-old Kiwi golfer had a wonderful performance at the Wentworth Club, Surrey. He started off with a decent 3 under 69 in the first round. His scorecard included five birdies and two bogeys.

Later on, Ryan Fox shot a round of 4 under 68 on Friday. He started off with two consecutive par scores in the first two holes and followed it with a bogey on the third. By the end of the day, he had shot five birdies on 4th, 5th, 13th, 15th, and 17th hole respectively.

His performance was even better on Saturday. The Kiwi golfer's third round had two incredible eagles on 4th and 12th holes. Although he had a double bogey on the fifth hole, Fox managed to get over that low and carded five birdies to end his day with a score of 6 under 66.

In the fourth and final round of the BMW PGA Championship, Ryan Fox was lethal since the fourth hole. He shot another two consecutive par shots in the first two holes and followed it with a bogey on the fourth. However, he didn't card a single bogey in the next 15 holes and won his fourth DP World Tour title.

The victory at the Wentworth Club, Surrey fetched the Kiwi golfer a whopping paycheck of $1,530,000.
