Why this matters in The McAllen
While Ryan Fox's British Open win may seem like a distant triumph to McAllen residents, his story can inspire local golf enthusiasts in the Rio Grande Valley.

As Fox enjoys his well-deserved rest and gourmet pie, local golfers can reflect on their own experiences and aspirations.
