EP11 - Why Ryan Fox's "Wrong" Golf Swing Won The Open, Plus Golf's Two Biggest Coaching Fights

Ryan Fox is the Champion Golfer of the Year, and he got there with a swing that breaks nearly every rule I'd teach. In episode 11 I break down what he does — the splayed stance, the strong grip, barely 20 degrees of hip turn, that steep arm swing — and the rotation and side bend on the way down that make it all work. Plus the closing stretch at Birkdale: the bunker bogey where he took his medicine, the hot bounce on 17, and the putt on 18 he hit before any of us watching were ready for it. Then Bryson's two-shot penalty, and why professionals go out of their way to look clean. The Asian Tour realigning with the DP World Tour, and what that quietly takes away from LIV's pitch to investors. And two arguments worth having. The short game fight over spin versus bounce — I'll tell you which side I lean and why. And the long game divide between stack and tilt and the biomechanics camp, with a bit of my own history through Cranfield, Harmon, Leadbetter and MORAD. Coaching takeaway this week: stop chasing shallow. Find the slot. Women's British Open preview to close.
