After a week of build-up LIV Golf finally kicked off its maiden event in Australia, and it is fair say the rebel circuit lived up to their 'golf but louder' motto.
After months of criticism in the United States and Europe, Greg Norman was no doubt hoping for a warmer reception from his homeland, and he got it. In typical LIV fashion, play got underway with a shot-gun start and one of the biggest crowds gathered on the fourth hole, where Aussie fan-favourite Cam Smith kicked of his week.
Smith headed into the event looking forward to it more than most, having finally got the chance to compete on the breakaway circuit on home soil.
