After being crowned champion of the 154th British Open following a thrilling finish, Ryan Fox stated this Sunday that although he had always dreamed of winning a major, he never thought it would actually happen.

"To be honest, it's incredible. You dream of this moment. I don't know if I ever thought it would come true. Now it has, and having my name etched in the tournament's history is amazing. I think it's great for New Zealand, too. I'm very happy," Fox commented after lifting the Claret Jug.
The player from Auckland won by a single stroke over American Cameron Young after sinking a birdie on the final hole.
He admitted he was "very nervous" while preparing for the decisive shot and wasn't quite sure how he holed the final putt: "I'm not sure how I made that putt. My hands were all over the place. I was just trying to get it towards the hole. It's a dream that it went in."
"It's the first time I've seen the trophy up close. So, it's truly amazing," added the golfer from Auckland, who succeeds American Scottie Scheffler as champion of the season's final major. The first thing Fox did after claiming victory was hold a video call with his wife and two young children, who had followed the tournament from Florida.
"They asked me to bring them a trophy, and I think this is one of the best ones I could bring," said the 39-year-old New Zealander, ranked 56th in the world, with satisfaction.
The Rules of Golf are a set of standard regulations and procedures governing how the sport is played. They are jointly drafted and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews—the governing body for golf worldwide, excluding the United States and Mexico, which fall under the jurisdiction of the United States Golf Association (USGA). An expert committee comprising members from both the R&A and the USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years; the most recent revision has been in effect since January 1, 2016. Amendments to the rules generally fall into two main categories: those that improve clarity and understanding, and those that—in certain instances—reduce penalties to ensure fairness. The rulebook, titled "Rules of Golf," is published regularly and also includes regulations governing amateur status. In Italy, the Italian Golf Federation (Federgolf) is responsible for overseeing competitions and enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, ensuring compliance by clubs, associations, and their registered members, while also managing related disciplinary matters and safeguarding their interests abroad.
