Three birdies by Cam on 10, 11 and 12, is 5 under for the day, and 1 shot behind Rory.
I hope the double on 13 yesterday when he briefly lost his mind might isn't the difference between winning and finishing runner-up.

What a back 9 from Smith.

Superb. Nerves of steel too.

Flawless Cam, flawless, home in 30 !!!!

Greg would be in awe of you.

Rory couldn't chip in for eagle could he, could he?

Cameron Smith. I was a real follower and believer, but he's seriously doing my head in. Can hardly hit a fairway, so can hardly hit a green. Not just at the Scottish Open. Anywhere.

Sure has a really good short game and strong putter ... but he absolutely needs them because ... see above. Otherwise he'd be lucky to make world top 100.

Once again, starts well. Got it to -4 at one stage of Rd.1, ended up -2, with Tringale leading on -9. The longer he plays in this and his last tournament, the more shots he surrenders. Just goes backwards at a rate of knots while his playing partners cruise past him easily. Why? See above.

Does he have much idea of how he hits it? Seems to mostly draw the ball, but fails to allow for it. Ends up in stupid positions so he cannot find the green, just more trouble. And even when he gets it on the fairway with a decent drive occasionally, then long irons draw too wide too and miss the green in hopeless positions or leaves him a really difficult putt. So bogies follow.

Can fade the ball too, but same thing; he overdoes it into serious trouble. See his losing playoff in 2021 against Tony Finou - a guy he was very capable of beating. Faded it oob on the first playoff hole from memory. Match over. Only had to hit the fairway to be able to apply huge pressure with his short game.

I'm not sure he has much idea at all of where his ball is going.

The Masters - couldn't take advantage when opportunity presented. Then capitulated.

What on Earth does he practice? How is it a coach cannot correct his waywardness - with all that $$$? Can he not learn some course management?

That's it. I'm sick of the capitulations by Aussie golfers. We seem to really lack cajones at the elite level. Even a good club golfer knows how to scramble pars to avoid going backwards out of the comp.

Interesting they asked Smith about rumours of him jpoining LIV in the press conference - he was clearly pissed at the question. But didn't deny it.

Personally I'm so happy he beat Rory, the media have lumped a whole lot more pressure on Rory by nominating him as Sir bloody Lancelot.

Simply *smile* magical. I love Cam Smith!

Even better when you live in the U.K. and your on a golf day surrounded by McIlroy supporters. Not that I dislike McIlroy but Smith is simply awesome.

He bristled with contempt at the question didn't he.

But as you say he didn't deny it at all.

Rory had a day like Smith yesterday, couldn't make a putt. Wonder if the weight of expectation got to him at all?
 
good on Smith

but Greg Norman is an offensive twit who needs to disappear.. like his mate Trump.
