“This was a really special week for me, you know Issi my girlfriend was caddying for me, so it was a little different out there and we had a hell of a lot of fun. Unfortunately Mick my caddie couldn’t be here, you know I wish he was, and I was definitely thinking about him today. And this was for him.

"We just had fun all week, sort of like golf got in the way a little bit, you know we were having a blast out there chatting about everything that we could chat about and hit some golf shots in between."

"“When I birdied 12 that was a huge bounce back birdie for me. My only bogey of the day was on 11 and to get a birdie right back and I think Ryan bogeyed the next hole, and I think we were all square from there. And then we had a huge put on 17 there and then just made par up 18."

The Englishman's third victory comes just two weeks after returning from a three-month break due to injury. His previous wins date back to 2020 at the Hero Open and Celtic Classc.

“It is kind of funny, I feel like I have been playing really well but I haven’t been able to put four rounds together and this week I was able to do that, so knowing that it’s in there and that I can do it, it puts me in a good step forward for next week

"This week I played solid all week and next week the US PGA, I'm really looking forward to it and definitely the summer ahead.”

Fox's back nine featured three bogeys and a single birdie and he closed with a 71 for a share of second place at 11-under alongside Germany's Yannik Paul who carded a 69.

South african Oliver Bekker (69) shares fourth place at 10-under with American Chase Hanna (68).
