The Kiwi’s second DP World Tour victory of the season surely sent a message to the captain of the International team at last week’s Presidents Cup, Trevor Immelman.
A little more than three months on from the 150th Open Championship, the ever-moving caravan that is professional golf is back at the Old Course in St. Andrews. But don’t expect this week’s Dunhill Links Championship to look anything like the game’s oldest major.
It was an epic save. And thanks to video captured by someone behind the green, golf fans can get a different look at it – one that somehow might even make the improbable par even more impressive.
The festivities were exactly how Smith wanted: beers flowing, Australian bands like Cold Chisel and INXS blasting pub classics on speakers and caddies far outnumbering tour players.
Cameron Smith had just walked off the 18th green at St Andrews, holding the Open Championship’s claret jug, when his agent, Bud Martin, handed him a phone.
Viktor Hovland smiles an awful lot for a villain. He didn’t ask for that label. He hasn’t done a single thing to deserve it – apart from having the audacity to match Rory McIlroy shot-for-shot on Saturday at the Old Course.
Rory McIlroy has done it again. A couple of months removed from the absurd bunker-busting chip-in on the 72nd hole of the Masters, McIlroy splashed in another at the Old Course on Saturday – this time for eagle and the outright lead (albeit briefly).
Cameron Smith says he will seek revenge on St Andrews’ Old Course on the final day after squandering his Open Championship lead during a frustrating third round he only just managed to save from disaster.
