Cameron Smith had a day to forget at the British Open, with a triple-bogey 7 on just the second hole dimming his chances early on. Despite the setback, Smith impressively faced the media after his worst score at a major championship, showing resilience in the face of adversity. Adam Scott and Min Woo Lee also shone brightly, providing hope for Australian success at the Open Championship.

As the weather took its toll, Cameron Smith's hopes of reclaiming his 2022 British Open victory dwindled. Smith's revised expectations of a lower winning score were challenged as he grappled with the challenging course conditions. In a surprising turn of events, Smith found himself trailing 15 shots behind the lead after a disappointing opening round at Royal Troon.

Despite his struggles, Cameron Smith's spirit remained undaunted as he faced a tough start and finished the day at the Open Championship. Adam Scott and Min Woo Lee's early rise showcased the potential for Australian success, as they illuminated the field before the sun had even fully risen.

However, two years after his St Andrews victory, Cameron Smith faced a harsh reality as his hopes were dashed with a subpar performance at the Open. With Adam Scott excelling and leading the Australian charge, Smith's rollercoaster journey at the British Open continued, leaving fans on the edge of their seats with anticipation for his next move.
