But Fox won’t have the title handed to him on a platter. He’s up against the two-time European Tour winners, Ewen Ferguson and Jordan Smith. And giving them all a tough time is also the former Ryder Cup captain, Thomas Bjorn. Although the four are among the fan favorites to win, it is still anyone’s game.
