## Resource

The latest episode of Sliced is largely a recap of an incredible Open Championship won in style by our former guest, Ryan Fox. We pay tribute to his mindset, pace of play and clutch finish, while analysing where it went wrong for Tommy Fleetwood, Sam Burns, and runner-up Scottie Scheffler. We've got the Bryson DeChambeau rules controversy covered too along with Rory McIlroy's remarks, and there's time for a discussion as to how Birkdale played and was set up. After that it's to our regular features: a forgotten golfer from Finland, a spin through this week's events including a 'major', and a tough Highest Bidder from a friend of the show. When you're done, remember you can hear Ryan Fox talk about his dream of becoming a major champion in our bonus interview from this time last year. Congratulations, Foxy!
