WITB: The key equipment changes Ryan Fox made ahead of winning The Open

Ryan Fox made equipment changes at the top of his bag ahead of his maiden Major victory at The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale.

The 39-year-old New Zealander, who is a long-time Srixon staffer, switched into a brand-new unreleased Srixon driver and utility iron ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open, before also adding the unreleased Srixon three wood ahead of his win at The Open Championship.

The Srixon Zxi RKT line was unveiled on the PGA TOUR at the Travelers Championship in June, and while it doesn't have an official release date, the clubs are already in Fox's bag. The latest Major champion wasted no time adding them, opting for the Srixon Zxi RKT LS+ Driver in 10.5 degrees, the 15 degree three wood and the new unreleased Srixon ZXi5+ 3 iron.

One of the longer hitters on Tour, these changes are the first big adjustments he's made since we saw him on the DP World Tour at the start of the year, having kept an unchanged bag elsewhere from the first two events of the year in Dubai.

Yet it was his Ping Answer 2D 2023 putter that proved the stand out in his history-making performance, having equalled the lowest round in a Major Championship on Saturday before he birdied two of his last three holes for a closing 68 and victory on Sunday.
