Open record-breaker Cameron Smith fiercely batted away a question about joining the breakaway LIV Golf Tour.
The Australian was speaking after his back-nine miracle saw him claim the 150th Open at St. Andrew’s, when it had looked for all the world Rory McIlroy’s title to lose. The popular Ulsterman, who was fiercely backed by the packed terraces, went into the final day in co-lead with Viktor Hovland.
McIlroy produced an almost faultless last 18 holes, but he was unable to match the aggression and bravery of his counterpart. And whilst the Irishman’s putter went cold, Smith’s was white-hot picking up shots on five straight holes after the front nine.
