Rory McIlroy was the fan-favorite heading into Sunday’s final round of the 150th Open Championship but he wasn’t the one lifting the Claret Jug at the end of the day.
Instead, it was the man with the beautiful mustache and mullet – Cameron Smith – winning the final major of the year in dramatic fashion with six birdies over the final nine holes.
Smith, who won the Players Championship in March, won his first major on Sunday thanks to his incredibly hot putter. He took over the lead on the back nine and never gave Mcllroy or others a chance to take it from him.
Here’s how he wrapped up his win:

Ridiculous.
Golf fans were in awe of his game… and of his mullet.
