Ryan Fox produced a remarkable finish to claim the Claret Jug and become Champion Golfer of the Year at The 154th Open.
The New Zealander was tied with Cameron Young on nine-under-par heading to the 18th hole at Royal Birkdale, knowing a birdie would bring him his maiden major title.
What followed will replayed time and again. A wonderful approach shot left Fox 12 feet for the Championship. Under huge pressure he made no mistake with the putt, rolling the ball home to complete a thrilling finale and win by one stroke.
Young had earlier produced a spectacular round of 64 to surge through the field and hold the clubhouse lead, and he looked destined for at least a play-off before Fox's final hole heroics.
The finish was the culmination of an outstanding golf and unforgettable moments on England's Golf Coast, with more than 300,000 spectators attending across the week.
The action began with four enhanced Practice Days which included the inaugural Last-Chance Qualifier. This saw one final Open spot on offer, with Yorkshireman Joe Dean taking the honours after a dramatic 12-player contest on Monday.
Once the opening round arrived on Thursday, it was Jackson Suber who set the early pace with a five-under-par 65. Fox, meanwhile, had work to do after starting his campaign with a Thursday round of 72.
The following day saw the history books being given a refresh with two record-equalling Open rounds. Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns each carded 62, becoming just the fifth and sixth players to do so in the history of the Championship. It was enough to send Herbert to the summit going into the weekend.
On Moving Day it was Fox who made his move - and he matched Herbert and Burns with a 62 of his own. Nine birdies recorded during an excellent third round saw him climb to within two shots of the lead, and well within striking distance, come the close of play on Saturday.
That set the stage for Sunday's dramatic finale. After reaching the 13th hole one-over-par for his round, Fox found form - birdieing three of the next four holes before claiming the title with his showstopping finish.
"It’s unbelievable, to be honest” he said afterwards.
“My nerves were all over the place, I’m not sure how I hit that putt on 18.
“It’s a dream come true. It’s the first time I’ve seen this trophy up close, it’s pretty amazing."
