Cameron Smith was determined to be the first Australian to win both the Australian Open and the British Open simultaneously. He started off with a “rubbish” start at his national open on Thursday.
“That’s the worst round I’ve ever played in a while.” Smith said that Smith’s 1-over 71 at Victoria Golf Club was “pretty (expletive).” “I thought the course was quite difficult. The conditions were very difficult. But I have to do better.”
The world No. The world No. 3 won the Australian PGA Championship last week . He was congratulated by his friends at a local bar.
“Maybe some delayed tiredness. Smith said that he did sometimes feel foggy, but it wasn’t an excuse. It’s my job to do all that stuff.
“It’s not that I don’t know how golf is played, it was just a bad day.”
This unique event takes place over two courses, Victoria and Kingston Heath golf club. It is simultaneously running both men’s & women’s tournaments with each offering $1.15 million in prize money. The all-abilities division will also be included in this year’s event, which will start play on Friday.
David Micheluzzi shot a 7 under 63 at Victoria on Thursday to lead the men’s team. Grace Kim is in front of the women, having shot a 7 under 66 at Kingston Heath (the ladies are playing the course at par 73 in the first round).
