WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Ryan Fox, who broke through for his first PGA Tour win at the Myrtle Beach Classic on Sunday, comes from a line of sporting champions in his native New Zealand.
Fox’s father and sometime caddie, Grant Fox, was a leading rugby player who played 46 times for New Zealand’s All Blacks and is fourth on the career scoring list with 645 points.
Grant Fox was a member of the New Zealand team that won the first Rugby World Cup in 1987. He scored 126 points in that tournament, which is still a record for an individual at a World Cup.
