Ryan Fox to play for Masters for first time

From Morning Report, 8:30 am on 6 April 2023

Ryan Fox will get to realise one of his golfing dreams this week when he tees up for the Masters for the very first time.

Fox received an invitation after finishing in the top 50 in the world rankings last year.

He's the first New Zealander to play the Masters since Danny Lee's tie for 17th in 2016.

Fox has watched the tournament many times since he was a kid and got a taste of Augusta National during a practice round a couple of weeks ago.

A debutant has not won the Masters since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
