Good news for the local golf scene down here in Hawea and Wanaka ❤️🇳🇿⛳

Auckland-based Foundry Developments says it has no immediate plans to alter the 20-hectare Lake Hāwea Golf Course following its purchase.

This is spot on from Lydia.

With the men's New Zealand Open going from strength to strength, the women's version returning next year, both the men's and women's Asia Pacific Amateurs behind held here this year, several new and exciting courses on their way...and now Foxy bringing the Claret Jug home...

Unbelievable.

It is certainly up there, but how high do you think it ranks?

❤️🇳🇿⛳

Have your say: Does Ryan Fox's latest win top the list?

21/07/2026

Yesterday I had no words. Today I probably have too many.

I've followed Ryan's career for many years and his steady rise has always impressed me. He wasn't one of those golfers who went out and won early, but he went through the levels and stayed true to himself and his process.

And that is exactly what he did early on Monday morning. He hung tough.

And here he is. The Champion golfer of the year.

I'm pretty sure my phone has not blown up quite so much as it did around 5.35am on Monday. What a ride.

Excited to see these three tee it up at The Open Championship.

Go well gents.

What are the odds that all three make the cut? I wouldn't back against it, that is for sure!

And who do people think will lift the claret jug? I've got a sneaky feeling it could well be Matt Fitzpatrick.
