Golf: Kiwi Ryan Fox lives dream, practices with Tiger Woods before Open Championship

Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has achieved a life dream in his build-up to the Open Championship this weekend.

Practicing at Northern Ireland's Royal Portrush course, Fox found himself strolling the fairways with golfing legend Tiger Woods, preparing for a tilt at his fourth British title.

"Achieved a dream today to play with Tiger in a Major… even if it was only one hole on a Tuesday," he posted on Instagram.

"Golf swing looking good from the big cat #theopen #royalportrush #dreamsdocometrue #foxtracker"

Neither golfer enters the year's fourth Major with the benefit of form behind them. Fox achieved his first European Tour win in Perth in February, but hasn't made a cut since March, including the PGA Championship and US Open.

Woods has only played 10 competitive rounds since winning the US Masters in April and hasn't played in more than a month.
