The Aussies took over New Jersey this week as Cameron Smith and his Ripper GC swept LIV Golf Bedminster.
The 29-year-old won Sunday for the third time since joining the upstart circuit after claiming the event at Trump National Bedminster at 12 under, seven shots clear of runner-up Anirban Lahiri. Abraham Ancer, Patrick Reed and Dean Burmester finished T-3 at 4 under. Smith has five top-five finishes in 11 starts this LIV season and hasn’t finished worse than T-26 in the 48-player field events.
Smith led his all-Australian Ripper GC to its first team victory of the season at 20 under, a whopping 11 shots clear of runners-up Crushers GC and Stinger GC at 9 under. Bubba Watson’s RangeGoats GC finished fourth at 8 under.
