Ryan Fox won the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale with a final-round 68. He finished one stroke ahead of Cameron Young for his first major victory.
Fox birdied four of his last six holes on Sunday to secure the Claret Jug. He had shot a 62 on Saturday and stayed patient through challenging conditions and bunker breaks.
Cameron Young posted a 64 on Sunday to finish second. He had held the clubhouse lead for more than two hours before Fox's final putt ended his chances.
Tommy Fleetwood tied for fourth after birdieing the final two holes. Scottie Scheffler, the defending champion, struggled with his putter and finished outside the top spots.
Bryson DeChambeau dealt with a Friday penalty and later a Sunday triple bogey, ending in a tie for 14th. Rory McIlroy commented on the earlier drama, describing DeChambeau's actions as performative.
