From donning the Masters green jacket in April, an entire nation now awaits to see if Matsuyama, in all seriousness, can go on to deliver a gold medal for Japan.
He knows it will take something “pretty perfect” but Cameron Smith’s quest for the 149th Open Championship remains alive after a round of two-under 68 at Royal St George’s on Saturday.
Cameron Smith will look to make a second-round surge after enduring difficult winds to lead the Aussie charge in Round 1 of The Open Championship at Royal St George’s Golf Club overnight.
After a tough second round at Torrey Pines that left him one outside the cut line, Cameron Smith did a quick interview. Emphasis on “quick,” because it ended rather abruptly after the question in question.
Cameron Smith brought the mullet, Marc Leishman brought the music and by week’s end the Aussie pair had brought the heat to secure a playoff victory at the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
The win, which counts as an official tour victory, is Leishman’s sixth, his first since the 2020 Farmers Insurance Open. Smith now has three, two at the Zurich and one at the 2020 Sony Open.
