Cameron Smith’s raising with the exhibition included the 150th Silver Mug

See it to believe but the greatness of golf has these things. the Australian cameron smith28 years old, the new British Open champion in St Andrewsin a Old Course crowded with the public, after signing 64 strokes in the final lap, with 8 birdies with no failures, for 268 (-20). He is the new Champion Golfer of the Year after giving a full exhibition on the course where only two of his other compatriots, Kel Nagle in 1960 and Peter Thomson in 1955. they also raised the precious Silver Jug.

Speechless in his tee and green recital and especially in the putt he left the ‘aussie’ in a Rory McIlroy who was seeing hole by hole how his rival overcame the 4 stroke disadvantage where he started this last day. Smith’s rush of five consecutive birdies between 10 and 14 — similar to what happened in March with The Players from 10 to 13 to win the tournament as well — was deadly. Pure talent. When this child plays like this no one coughs or stops him.

On the 13th hole, Smith tied the lead with the Briton, and on the next one, par 5 of the second half of the course, he took the lead by one. There McIlroy’s face changed, very tense until late even playing great golf from tee to green. But the putt was not on him this time. 70 hits for 270 (-18) and it’s not second since American Cameron Young He slipped to second with an incredible eagle-2 in the 18th, going 65 and 269 (-19).

The 17th hole, the famous Road hole, could change the course of the tournament when Smith missed the green a lot and took a majestic par putting from the very long distance towards the flag and then saved the par using a pot putt from three meters. Rory hit back with a great second shot from twenty feet for the birdie, but again the ball was deflected on the short side of the cylinder. On the 18th Smith took a birdie-3 from the book and McIlroy, needing an eagle to force the playoffs, settled on a frustrating par.

This ending was a real stick for the Northern Irishman, a huge disappointment. For him and the thousands of fans who supported and cheered him on the field. But this Sunday will no longer be remembered especially with the winners of the four ‘big ones’, the last of them in 2014. Conversely. Now 2022 has become the top ten of the four ‘majors’. The clearest opportunity to break a drought that has lasted a long time is undoubtedly the Old Course. Rory will rise from this new defeat, but it will take time to melt and forget the analysis provided by a brilliant, effective and painful Smith. He completely surpassed him, beating the record for the best final round a champion Zach Johnson had in 2015 with 66 strokes.
