With a staunch defence of Cameron Smith, Ian Baker-Finch believes playing LIV Golf events on more challenging layouts before major championships could be a game changer for Australia's fallen superstar.
With a second-straight Masters flop, Smith has now missed the cut at the past six majors, prompting critics to once again question the 2022 Open champ's decision to defect to the Saudi-backed league when he was world No.2.
"The correlation would be that he has played not as well over the last couple of years since he went there," Baker-Finch said at Augusta National.
