In a macro sense, New Zealand’s Ryan Fox had a short wait between his first and second PGA TOUR titles. But as Sunday afternoon neared evening at the RBC Canadian Open, it didn’t quite feel that way. Fox won the RBC Canadian Open with a birdie on the fourth playoff hole at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, a first-time host venue for Canada’s national open, outlasting Sam Burns after the duo matched 18-under 262 for 72 holes at the sprawling venue north of Toronto.

Fox shared the 54-hole lead with Matteo Manassero and carded a bogey-free, 4-under 66 in the final round, but he was chased down by Burns, who finished nearly two hours prior and posted 8-under 62 to charge from 16th place into a playoff position. Burns was chasing his sixth TOUR title and first since the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, but he was undone by a three-putt par on the fourth playoff hole. Fox striped his second shot from roughly 270 yards to 7 feet and comfortably two-putted for the win after Burns lipped out an 8-foot birdie try.

“That shot I hit on 18, a 3-wood, was probably the best shot I’ve ever hit,” Fox said afterward, holding his two daughters in his arms on the 18th green.

Fox, 38, notched his first TOUR title at last month’s ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, winning with a chip-in birdie on the first extra hole. It didn’t come quite as easy in this playoff: Fox and Burns matched pars on each of the first three playoff holes. The duo played the par-5 18th four times before a winner was determined – and the end result was another title for Fox, a four-time DP World Tour winner, who also moves into the top 60 on the Official World Golf Ranking and thereby qualifies for the upcoming U.S. Open at Oakmont. Fox moves from No. 60 to No. 25 on the season-long FedExCup standings, as well.
