Cameron Smith has found form at the perfect time after being crowned LIV London champion at Centurion, less than two weeks before his Open Championship defence begins.
Smith's wire-to-wire victory saw him see off former Masters champion Patrick Reed, and fellow Aussie and Ripper GC teammate Marc Leishman on the final day in St Albans. Having held the lead heading into Sunday, Smith carded a hard-fought three-under-par 68 to get him over the line.
The victory was somewhat bitter-sweet though, as Smith missed a putt on the 18th green to miss out on the team title. His all-Australian Ripper GC finished second in the team competition by a single shot, as Dustin Johnson's 4Aces prevailed with a 34-under-par for the week.
