Cameron Smith wasn’t intimidated. Not on a course, he knows so well, but purposefully avoids playing until he has to.
Cameron Smith of Australia plays his shot from the first tee during the final round of THE PLAYERS Championship on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on March 14, 2022 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. – Cameron Smith wasn’t intimidated. Not on a course he knows so well, but purposefully avoids playing until he has to.
“It was obviously a long week. Yeah, today I think I just kind of held in there today,” Smith said. “Lots of birdies, kept staying aggressive, kept trying to make birdies, and went through a little bit of a lull there in the middle, I guess. And yeah, just bounced back really nice and proud of the way I hung in there.”News4JAX sports anchor Cole Pepper wraps up The Players
That there was any sort of drama after Smith’s dominance provided a bit of late theater. He was brilliant, needing just 26 putts on Monday and notching 10 birdies.When left nursing a one-stroke lead when he stepped to the tee box on No. 16, Smith had his worst drive of the day, a duck hook down the left side and into a clump of pine straw. He punched out through the trees, stuck his approach roughly 50 feet from the pin and then two-putted for par.
The pandemic ended things after one round in 2020 and led to a tournament rife with safety precautions and limited attendance last year. The return to normal this year sounded good until the area was pounded by 4.8 inches of rain during the first three days of the tournament and pushed the tournament into Monday for the first time since 2005.So, it was only fitting that another golfer who calls the area home managed to tame the Stadium Course and its elements.
Smith sank a 38-foot putt on No. 1, then stuck his approach shots on both Nos. 2 and 4 within 10 feet. He sank both putts for birdie. As hot as Smith was on start, he struggled to make it to the turn. Smith went bogey-bogey-bogey to close his front, including a woeful three-putt on the par-5 ninth.While Smith was sizzling, numerous contenders fell off early in the final round. Lahiri was right there until the finish, a career achievement for a golfer who entered ranked No.
