Plainly each time there’s a huge occasion on the PGA Tour or (coincidentally) on the LPGA Tour, there are a myriad of rumors, conjecture, injunctions, and insults, flying round from one get together or the opposite.
Naturally, then, within the week of the Tour Championship, the final occasion of the PGA Tour season, Cam Smith has needed to subject questions based mostly round (greater than) sturdy rumors that he’s quickly off to move an Australian crew on the Greg Norman-led tour.
After successful the historic a hundred and fiftieth Open Championship in July, the Australian was at pains to level out to these asking the fixed questions:
“I don’t know, mate. My crew round me worries about all that stuff. I’m right here to win golf tournaments.”
And that has, just about, been his stance all through the final month, weeks which have handed with a lot incident for the present world quantity two.
Sitting simply two photographs off the lead on the FedEx St. Jude Championship after three rounds, Smith was penalized two photographs for enjoying the ball from the mistaken place, earlier than his withdrawal from final week’s BMW Championship.
Going into the season decider, the 29-year-old was once more requested concerning the future, this time by GolfDigest. Once more he was adamant:
“I’ve tried to dam all of it out. Like I’ve stated all alongside, I’m simply right here to play actually good golf. My purpose this week is to make plenty of putts and attempt to be the primary Australian to win the FedEx Cup.”
His current withdrawal signifies that he now begins six strokes behind world primary and FedEx chief, Scottie Scheffler, subsequent to Rory McIlroy, a fervent opponent of the LIV group, solely lately stating that “If LIV went away tomorrow, I’d be tremendous glad.”
“Mate, to be trustworthy, six photographs… it’s not that a lot,” Smith stated to the on-line journal. “The course is somewhat moist, which can imply I’ll hit extra fairways and have extra appears to be like at birdie.”
Smith continued, “East Lake is a tricky monitor to guide on and if you’re scrambling for par all day, this course will make you pay. I don’t even suppose 10 photographs is loads. It wouldn’t shock me if, one 12 months, one of many guys from 25 to 30 got here up the leaderboard and received every little thing.”
Summing up, Smith diverts consideration away from the apparent by stating:
“[A win] can be an unimaginable finish to a very good season. There’s no cause why I can’t come out and get it completed.”
