The win sees him jump to third in the DP World Tour standings, with the top 10 earning PGA Tour cards for next season.
“I certainly didn’t think I’d be talking to you after the third hole today,” he said in the TV interview following his victory.
“I don’t really know what to think at the moment, to be honest. I’ve always struggled a little bit around here. I’ve maybe snuck one top 20 and barely made it to many cuts around here. To have a back nine like that, especially after how I started the day ... it’s amazing. I played great, pretty much didn’t miss a shot from the third hole onwards and saw a couple of putts go it. It was a pretty cool feeling on the last to know I had one to win and actually make it.”
Fox had not registered a top 10 in what he said has been a tough year. His second child was born four months ago, and his father-in-law died in June after a brief battle with cancer.
He was third last week in the Irish Open and now has his first Rolex Series title.
