Summary
Ryan Fox’s Open Championship victory gave Srixon’s unreleased ZXi RKT LS+ driver major-winning validation before its retail launch.
A 330-yard drive on Royal Birkdale’s 18th set up Fox’s walk-off birdie, and he ranked 10th in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee at more than 3 shots gained for the week.
Fox added the LS+ model at last month’s Travelers Championship and put a new ZXi RKT 3-wood in play this week after that club’s Scottish Open debut.
Srixon has not disclosed technical details, but images suggest heavier carbon-fiber use and an 'Acousticore' sound-focused design in the new woods line.
The win also extended momentum for Fox’s new Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6-X shaft, which now has 2 PGA Tour victories after Viktor Hovland’s Travelers win.
