Myrtle Beach Celebrates Champion Ryan Fox at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic
This past weekend, the sunny shores of Myrtle Beach played host to an exciting golf event—the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic—held at the prestigious Dunes Golf and Beach Club. The event kicked off with 132 talented players showcasing their skills, but things took a slightly rocky turn as a bit of rain tried to dampen the spirits.
Weather Delays? Not a Problem!
The second day of the tournament faced a delay due to inclement weather, which pushed morning tee times from 8:30 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. Afternoon rounds were adjusted, running from 1:10 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. But did that put a damper on the players? Not one bit! The intense competition rolled on, with golfers determined to make it a weekend to remember.
Race for the Lead
Heading into the final round, the competition was fierce. Mackenzie Hughes from Canada and Cristobal Del Solar from Chile were neck-and-neck at the top, both boasting an impressive score of -10 after shooting a total of 132. Just one stroke behind them at -9 with a score of 133 were a group of pros: Danny Walker, Harry Higgs, Will Chandler, Nick Watney, and Davis Shore, all tied for third place.
Norman Xiong wasn’t too far behind either, sitting in eighth place after a solid round which put him at -8 with a score of 134. With a purse of $4 million on the line, every stroke counted, pushing these talented athletes to give it their all!
Fox’s Heart-Stopping Victory
The thrilling moment of the tournament came when Ryan Fox claimed his first PGA TOUR title in a sudden-death playoff, emerging victorious with a final round score of 66. This win didn’t just lead him to a trophy; it granted him a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and even snagged him a coveted spot in the upcoming PGA Championship. What a fantastic way to cap off a competitive weekend!

What to Bring—and What Not to Bring
