MELBOURNE : Cameron Smith is on a redemption mission at the Australian PGA Championship this week after crashing out of his home event last year in a setback that left him struggling to hold back tears.
The three-time winner failed to make the cut in his title defence a year ago in a huge disappointment for the golfer and legions of fans at Royal Queensland.
"It was completely disappointing to play how I did last year. It was terrible. It was a terrible feeling," Smith told reporters on Tuesday. The A$800,000 New South Wales Open in a rural town on the Murray river was a change from the astronomical prize money and glitz of the Saudi-backed LIV circuit Smith plays on.
Ripper GC teammate Lucas Herbert, who shared in the LIV prize money, won the New South Wales Open by three strokes, with Smith denied a drought-breaking win after stumbling through a messy final round.
