British Open winner Ryan Fox arrives back in New Zealand, hankering for sleep and a pie

New Zealand golfer Ryan Fox returned home to Auckland on Friday, July 24, 2026, after winning the British Open at Royal Birkdale the previous Sunday. The 39-year-old secured his first major title by birdieing the final hole, and was greeted at the airport by his wife Anneke, two children, and his father Grant Fox, a former All Blacks rugby player. Fox was later spotted at a local bakery, fulfilling his craving for a gourmet pie after the long journey home with the claret jug.
