Ryan Fox produced a sensational back-nine performance to claim a thrilling one-shot victory in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
The early narrative ahead of the final round was that we could see the crowning of a new superstar in Ludvig Åberg and then, following a Sunday charge from Rory McIlroy, it looked as though Tyrrell Hatton was going to stroll to victory.However, New Zealander Fox, who looked down and out after a triple-bogey at the third, emerged from the pack and made a crucial birdie at the 18th to snatch the title after Hatton had birdied the same hole moments earlier.
Another well-placed tee shot at the 14th took him within a shot of Hatton's lead and he was suddenly in front after birdieing the 15th thanks to a brilliant second shot from between trees shortly after Hatton had bogeyed the same hole.Fox let birdie chances slip by at the 16th and 17th, meaning he took a one-shot lead to the 18th tee, but that disappeared as Hatton made birdie as he prepared to lay-up.
