Young made a 15-foot eagle on the 18th hole for a 65, tied for the lead for as long as it took Smith to tap in for birdie. As McIlroy spoke to the media, he had to pause every now and then. There were cheers from a record crowd as Smith walked onto the green to accept the claret jug and be introduced as “champion golfer of the year.” Smith and Young were four behind and by the end of the day, one had the silver claret jug and the other had a silver medal. “Towards the end of last year, I had a lot of chances and really didn’t get over the line. I think that made me more eager, I guess, at the start of the year to really knuckle down and try and get over the line. Today kind of just is more proof that he is that good, and he is one of the very, very best players in the world.” Smith used his magic touch with the putter to run it along with edge of the bunker onto the green and made the 10-footer for par. His third win this year came at Kapalua on the Plantation course with its wild changes in elevation and big greens with high wind. “I think it’s just another example of why he’s one of the very best,” Young added. ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Cameron Smith made eight birdies on the final day of the British Open. His 8-under 64 was the lowest closing round at St. Andrews by the champion golfer of the year.

Former golf tour pro Mark Allen has discussed Cameron Smith's recent triumphant win at The Open Championship at St Andrews.

The duo are the only golfers to win the Players and Open in the same season.

The Players at the start of the year, with the best field in golf, to go away with the win was a really big confidence booster. I’ve knocked on the door, I think, maybe one too many times now. “I’ve definitely been on that track a few times in my career.

I see him three or four times a year, and every time you see him he’s better than the last time he was there. He would just play, and whether he had a good or a bad round, when it was done it was done. Smith played a straight bat to the line of questioning. The last fortnight he saw his coach Grant Field in person for the first time since the pandemic, and then won at the spiritual home of golf. When it was wet and the desire to get out on the course waned, a young Smith would harass his dad even more. He’s even more comfortable fishing off the back of the jetty of his Florida home, or driving the fast cars or ride-on lawnmowers he uses to take his mind away from golf.

One way never to miss the cut is not to have one, one way never to lose is to pocket endless winnings. Five birdies in a row at the start of the back nine, and those birdies were pigeons, and he was a cat. The ball stayed in the fairways, and sat on the greens. From off the green on the famous 17th, it had to be aimed, measured, weighed and struck perfectly, and was. This was the reality that faced Smith on the first tee on Sunday. From four shots behind, he could play a flawless round and still not win. Smith said he just knew that once he got the ball somewhere on the green, the putt would go in. He had the mind for this day. He’d hit the ball as well as in rounds one and two, he said, but the gods were not with him. He had the game for this course. He was the best putter in the world.

In a way, it is this that validates Smith’s achievement as one of the finest by any Australian sportsperson.

I love the town. I love the golf course. To do it around St Andrews, I think is just unbelievable. While their relationship status is yet to be confirmed, pictures emerged of the pair while at the Open and as she is a resident of Smith’s current address Jacksonville, Florida. it is thought the two of them met back in the States. His success throughout that 2015 season ensured he returned to the Tour in 2017 and has since gone on to win six PGA Tour trophies, three European tour trophies and two PGA Tours of Australasia. Speaking to the press after his win, Smith said: “To win an Open Championship in itself is probably going to be a golfer’s highlight in their career.

That was the score when Smith was on the 17th hole.

Rory McIlroy's four-shot lead disappeared in a flash but there's no shame in losing to someone as impressive as Cameron Smith was.

Sapped of the already limited power he had earlier in his career, the milestone hit was one of just six homers he hit in 2011. The success of the two World Cup tournaments led to a series of competitions called the “ Mundialito” (Spanish for “little World Cup”), held in Italy four times between 1984 and ’88, plus a smaller version in Japan in ’81. The Mundialito, like the ’70 and ’71 World Cups, was not a FIFA-sanctioned event, but it did prove that women’s soccer could be commercially successful. The Jeter cover was one of two covers SI published that week. When a golfer blows a four-stroke lead in the final round of a major, it’s easy to look back on the tournament and say he “lost” it. Even still, the tournament was a popular event. His bogey-free 64 was tied for the lowest round of the tournament. Nick Selbe breaks down a star-studded first round of the MLB draft. Yes, he had to make birdie at the 18th to edge Young by a stroke, but a bogey there would have changed everything. He needed just 29 putts on Sunday, compared to 35 on Saturday. For McIlroy, though, it was the putter that did him in, as Michael Rosenberg wrote: Smith’s disappointing second shot came perilously close to going into a greenside bunker, and the pin location made a chip shot all but impossible. All Smith did was come out and play the round of his life. Smith fired a final-round 64 to capture his first major championship, finishing the tournament at 20 under par.

Cameron Smith was in no mood to talk about LIV Golf rumors after he won the Open Championship on Sunday in St. Andrews.

Is there any truth in that?” “Cam, apologies for having to bring this up in these circumstances, but your name continues to be mentioned, has been mentioned to me this week about LIV Golf,” the reporter said. Is there any truth to suggestions that you might be signing?”

“I feel as though I can hit a lot of different scoring shots into and around the green.” He went on to add, “For me, the biggest thing that stuck out was the control coming out of the rough and around the greens. It might be staying with the same head style, b ut trying a different neck or staying with the same neck and going to a different head style.” Like a growing number of players, Smith has a four-wedge setup but brings additional wedges to each event and swaps clubs in and out of his bag based on the course conditions. The club has a finished length of 35 inches and has 3 degrees of loft. “When he first showed up on tour, we focused on how to launch the ball farther and higher,” Van Wezenbeeck said. At the British Open, Cameron Smith made a course-specific decision to go with only one fairway wood, a Titleist TSi2 fitted with a Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 8X shaft. Smith put two weights in the track, one in the toe and one in the heel, according to J.J. Van Wezenbeeck, Titleist’s director of player promotions. Smith’s pitching wedge and gap wedge both have an F Grind sole that is fairly straight, making the clubs extensions of his irons. He brought both clubs to Europe and put the TSR2 in play at the Scottish Open two weeks ago. “It was about increasing the dynamic loft, to make the shape of a TSi3 act like a TSi2,” Van Wezenbeeck said. The TR version of the Ventus Blue shaft is slightly stiffer than the standard Blue, and produces less spin and a lower flight. He woke up Monday morning ranked No. 2 in the world, a major winner and only the second golfer in history to win the Players Championship and British Open in the same year, joining Jack Nicklaus.
