Australian golfer Cameron Smith emerged victorious in the LIV Golf London event held at Centurion Golf Club, Hemel Hempstead. This triumph served as Smith’s final preparation before defending his Open title later this month. Throughout the 54-hole tournament, Smith held a three-stroke lead going into the final day.
On Sunday, Smith displayed a stellar performance, carding a three-under 68 to conclude the competition at 15 under par. Although American Patrick Reed shot a remarkable 65 and Smith’s compatriot Marc Leishman recorded a solid 66, Smith managed to secure the win by a narrow margin, despite a bogey on the final hole.
Smith and Leishman, alongside fellow Australian Jediah Morgan, form the Ripper team. Despite their strong performance in the team event during the first two days, they were overtaken by 4Aces for the team prize. The late surges up the leaderboard from the US trio of Reed, Dustin Johnson (-10), and Pat Perez (-9) propelled 4Aces to a combined score of -34, surpassing Ripper’s -33.
While Smith expressed his delight at his individual victory, he also shared mixed emotions regarding the team outcome, stating, “Obviously thrilled about the individual win but it would have been nice to get up there with the boys.”
