Fox was sixth in strokes gained/approach the green, beating the field average by more than seven shots with his split set of Srixon irons. However it was his 15-degree Srixon ZXi 3-wood that struck the deciding blow.
In his first start since his worst finish this season – a T-47 in the PGA Championship – the reigning Masters champion suffered an extremely rare setback – he missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open.
