Cameron Smith

The Open Championship 2022 at St. Andrews Old Course, round one LIVE (3.30pm) —. Australia's top-ranked male golfer Cameron Smith says he enters this year's ...

“And again, at St. Andrews, if he does his deal, he’s one of the best iron players to ever play, if not the best. Speaking on Sirius XM on Wednesday, Couples said: “I talk to him every night and when he tells me things, you know, some are top secret. It would be awesome to win an Open here,” he said. But when he talks about his game, he says, ‘I am driving it really, really well. Woods pulled out of the PGA Championship after three rounds due to his leg, then skipped the US Open to prepare for The Open. By his own assessment, Smith has “played the best golf of his life” this year and is no stranger to contending at the majors with four top-five finishes since making his 2015 debut.

St Andrews is a blank canvas for Cameron Smith this week and he plans to create a masterpiece.

Leish was able to hit that cut into the wind and kind of keep himself on the fairways. Links golf is trying to hit the perfect shot and hoping for the best. “You’ve just got to be ready for it. I think the wind plays a big factor even when you’re trying to hit along the ground here. There’s going to be some pretty ugly spots you get yourself into out there. I feel like I’m hitting the driver really good.”

Cameron Smith says he doesn't want to jinx himself ahead of The Open but he feels he is playing the best golf of his career.

I had a good weekend up at the Scottish Open. Like you said, people recognize the hair and makes a few people laugh. He said: “I've always said that if I won a tournament or did something good, I would cut it off. “And at some points it will be unfair, I think. It would be awesome to win an Open here for sure. “So don't want to jinx myself, but I'm feeling pretty good.

The Australian has previously suggested he would get a haircut if he won a top tournament.

People recognise the hair and it makes a few people laugh. It’s good.” “But I’ve done that a couple times this year and it’s still on there, so I’d like to say I would cut it off but it’s probably not going to happen.

Ash Barty is backing Cameron Smith to break Australia's 29-year British Open drought after walking St Andrews' famous fairways with the in-form world No.6.

Before she left, Barty also tipped to AAP a top-10 finish at least for Scott, who also hit the lead during the final round at St Andrews seven years ago. After competing in the Icon Series celebrity golf event in the United States, Barty made the flight across the Atlantic to support her fellow Queenslanders Smith and Scott before dashing off to watch the State of Origin decider at a nearby hotel. For the second day running Barty and her PGA golf trainee fiance Garry Kissick joined Smith to watch his final practice round before he leads the Aussie charge at the 150-year anniversary Open at the home of golf.

Following his five-under 67 at the Old Course, the Aussie revealed his afternoon plans, and they sound ideal.

Could mean he's binge watching "Peaky Blinders," could mean he's literally cruising around the town and having a few beverages, or it could mean he's going to bed early. Two things: A. I don't watch "Peaky Blinders" but I do know it's based in Europe (Britain, specifically), so the fact he's watching that in Europe, at the damn Open Championship, is a little too on brand. B. "Cruisy night" is such a perfectly Australian way to describe a lowkey evening.

Cameron Smith has raised hopes of a long overdue Australian British Open triumph with his best start yet to the links-course major.

“The one thing I haven’t been good at is bouncing back from bad shots. “It was a good recovery, a great recovery,” he said. Min Woo Lee was the next best of the Australians after taking advantage of his early tee time to post a three-under 69. Brad Kennedy was the next best of the Australian morning starters after also taking advantage of early tee times to post a four-under 68. “I’m fine now but it just felt like I got a little bit of a hyper-extension in the back of my knee,” he said. “So nice to get out there and shoot a number and get myself well under par.”

The Australian shot a stylish five-under par 67 to finish the first round in third spot, three strokes short of American leader Cameron Young.

"Standing on the first tee at St Andrews in an Open is something that I've only dreamt of doing as a kid, and for it to all come real and to have the support I did out there today was pretty cool." - Smith is just three shots off the lead after his best-ever start to The Open with a three-under-par 67 Cameron Smith is hoping to parlay his best start at a British Open into a long-overdue first Australian triumph at St Andrews in more than 60 years.

“I hit the ball in the correct spots a couple times, left myself some good lag putts, the correct angles and I messed those up. “We had a really nice breeze early on this morning and I managed to hit some great iron shots in to some tough pins.” “Standing on the first tee at St Andrews in an Open is something that I’ve only dreamt of doing as a kid, and for it to all come real and to have the support I did out there today was pretty cool.” “So nice to get out there and shoot a number and get myself well under par.” “But these majors, the tougher the course gets, especially around here, how it’s going to get really firm and really fast, it’s almost going to be like holding on, I think, on the weekend. “It’s nice to get off to a hot start any week, really,” the world No.6 said.

Star's bizarre 4.30am Tiger wake-up, Mickelson ends 11-year feud with Aussie gun: Oz Open Wrap.

His round featured eight birdies and four bogeys in a rollercoaster start to his tournament. In the video, Phil Mickelson denies the youngster an autograph on course. It woke me up at 4am; it was a good wake-up call I guess. But his 4am wake-up was more than a little bizarre, with Lee revealing he was woken by video of Tiger Woods’ victory at the 2000 Open at St Andrews on his laptop. “I was watching Tiger in 2000 St Andrews before I closed the laptop at 8.30pm and fell asleep, but it was playing when it was closed somehow. I’ll probably watch five or six episodes of that this afternoon.
