"Felt bipolar on the greens," - Ryan Fox gets real about the 'tricky' third day at Myrtle Beach Classic

The 2025 Myrtle Beach Classic is underway at Dunes Golf and Beach Club, and New Zealand golfer Ryan Fox is in the field. Following his third round, he revealed that his game felt “bipolar” due to a number of reasons.

Fox has been playing professional golf since 2012 and has won four events on the European Tour and three on the PGA Tour of Australasia. He is attempting to secure his first PGA Tour title in the Myrtle Beach Classic.

On day three at Myrtle Beach, Ryan Fox scored three-under 68 after shooting nine birdies and six bogeys. He currently sits T4 on the leaderboard, tied with 4 others. In his post-round interview, he was asked to reveal how he felt after shooting 68 with only three pars. He replied (via ASAP Sports):

“It was obviously a tricky day out there. The wind was up early, and we got rain probably the last eight holes. To be honest, I felt bipolar on the greens today. If I had a birdie putt, it looked like it had a chance of going in, and if I had a par putt, I was straight out of it and walking to tap the next one in.”

Ryan Fox further added that although it was a “strange” day, he was happy he didn’t ruin his game by making six bogeys.

The 38-year-old golfer charged into his third round with four straight birdies on holes one to four. He also made three consecutive bogeys on holes eight, nine, and ten, but made up for it with another set of three straight birdies from holes 13 to 15.
