新西兰高尔夫选手Ryan Fox在赢得英国公开赛冠军后，于周五返回故乡[1]。这位39岁的选手在皇家伯克代尔球场最后一洞抓鸟，获得了职业生涯首个大满贯冠军[1]。
Fox在奥克兰机场与家人团聚，随后前往当地面包店享用他钟爱的馅饼[1]。他对新西兰人给予的支持表示感谢，称"这些支持真的不可思议，我无法用言语表达对大家的感激"[1]。
美国选手贾斯汀·托马斯曾向Fox提出建议，希望他"记住所有细微之处，因为当你真正需要时，这些回忆都是珍贵的财富"[1]。Fox表示在接下来的10天内计划钓鱼和打高尔夫[1]。Fox的父亲是前全黑橄榄球运动员格兰特·福克斯[1]。
Ryan Fox arrived back in New Zealand on Friday following his maiden major championship triumph at the British Open [1]. The 39-year-old secured victory at Royal Birkdale with a birdie on the final hole [1], reuniting with family at Auckland Airport before indulging in a beloved local meat pie [1].
Fox expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support upon his return, stating: "The support's been unbelievable, to be honest; I can't thank people enough" [1]. His father Grant Fox, a former All Blacks rugby player, was among those welcoming him home [1].
Looking ahead, Fox plans to spend the next ten days fishing and playing golf while savoring the moment [1]. Before his victory, fellow golfer Justin Thomas offered him counsel to "remember all the little things because they're great to draw back on when you really need it" [1].
