ST ANDREWS, Scotland — The mullet. The mallet.
The rocker-looking Cameron Smith, draining putt after putt, made a dramatic run Sunday on the back nine of the Old Course — five birdies in a row — to overtake fan favorite Rory McIlroy and hold off American Cameron Young to win the 150th British Open.
It was the first major championship for Smith, who became the first Australian to win the Claret Jug since Greg Norman in 1986.
