Cameron Smith will head for his defence of the Open Championship fresh from victory after seeing off the spirited challenge of Patrick Reed to claim LIV Golf’s tournament at Centurion. Smith’s next start will be the final major of the year, which tees off at Royal Liverpool on Thursday week.

Smith, too, continues to justify what was a controversial switch to the breakaway tour in the immediate aftermath of lifting the Claret Jug at St Andrews last July.
