Episode Description
EP57 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & Ryan Fox
Ryan Fox is one of the world’s greatest golfers. At the time of writing this, his world ranking was number 30. And he played so well in 2022 that he earned himself an invite to this year’s Masters tournament in Augusta (that posh one where the winner gets a green jacket and all the caddies wear white overalls which looks like they are about to go and paint a house).
In this conversation, recorded during his Christmas holiday we talk about loads of stuff- what it feels like to win $1.1 million dollars in a week, and how much of that he must pay out to his team.
Life growing up as the son of Grant Fox – one of the greatest all blacks ever. What lessons he got from Steve Hansen about dealing with adversity when he was going through a bad patch His friendship with the late Shane Warne and much more.
