Ryan Fox won the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale with a winning score of 10-under par, closing with a final-round 68 to edge Cameron Young by one stroke. Fox's total included a third-round 62, one of two rounds of 62 recorded during the week; the other belonged to Sam Burns, who held the 54-hole lead.
Scoring conditions were favorable throughout the tournament amid relatively calm weather at Royal Birkdale, contributing to a low winning total. Fox birdied four of his last six holes in the final round, including the 72nd hole, to seal his first major championship title at 10 under par.
The 10-under winning score fell within the range widely expected given the week's benign conditions and the flurry of low rounds, including the pair of 62s posted on Friday that put the tournament on pace for a low overall number.
A majority of the Predict Six community, 68%, correctly predicted the winning score would finish at 10 under or lower, matching Fox's final total.
