Masters debutant reveals time "chuffed" Shane Warne told him about Augusta hole-in-one

Ryan Fox is set to make his debut at the Masters this year and will be hoping to replicate the success his late friend and cricket legend Shane Warne had on the Augusta course.

New Zealand golfer Fox was close friends with Warne, with the pair regularly playing together at the DP World Tour's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Pro-Am event. The pair finished runner-up in 2021 and Fox went on to win the championship last year, paying tribute to Warne months after his tragic death at the age of just 52.

Fox's victory at St Andrews was his second DP World Tour win last year and helped earn him an invitation to the Masters. And speaking ahead of his debut, the 36-year-old recalled the time Warne hit a hole in one on the course.
