The 150th Open Championship at St Andrews

Shot Cam.

Cam Smith looks like Paul Calf, imo.

should always cheer ur boy on esp as it makes no odds financially

laid Rors more in hope than expectation but Cam would be a deserved winner were he to prevail

not greening..que sera sera

Good lookey likey Des .

had to look that up..Des..doppelgangers

skirted by his share of fairway bunkers this week Rory.

Yea. don't mind Cam Smith winning at all. Don't mind Rory either.

Cam into room 412 on 17 imo

I had a blinding position on Rory but held onto it too long, hats off to Smith though for playing superb.

Gangster.

great tee shot from Cam there. Next shot the most important of his career to date

unlucky, slippy. happens so often doesn't it?

absolutely but he's in the Badass zone atm

still very weird betting given a 3 up at far more likely for Rory than Cam

If Cam goes par-birdie for the win, we're maybe talking the greatest Sunday back 9 in major championships ever.

Fear the wait is going to go on for Rory

Rors has been done no favours playing with that XXX rated choker Vic

Perfect Cam, all going to plan now

whoops cam

Cam opening the door again,good luck up and downing that..lucky not in bunker

Cannot believe how low he traded when had that shot to come...

Can't get greedy on the next, bogey doesn't kill him.

odds on to make 6 imo

Pretty good.

Not too bad really.

playoff shirley now

that was well played BUT massive putt upcoming

two big putts here for the cameroons

I crap myself trying to break 90 with the boys, can't imagine the nerves on putting round the road hole bunker with a 1 shot lead. It would be an experience, living the absolute dream these fellas.

Clutch

two great irons for young on 15 and 17 and both putts short

1.28 must have holed that putt

Too good from Cam. Just a ridiculous putter.

Wow, bloody amazing.

he does whole his share of putts. Proof where the game needs to go, power counts for vert little. He hits it like a 10 hcapper but can shoot a score

hole not whole lol

very impressive Rory needs some magic now

Cam birdies here surely

the bias towards rory in betting markets is not deserved.....the amount of times he has led in regular pga events and lost is staggering..........he hasnt really blown too many majors from great positions but he doesnt get it done.............here we go again. dont want to speak too soon but congrads c smith.

Camazing performance.

Looking like Rory will need -20. If he wins its going to be memorable.

shot young

Shot Rory. This is epic

far from over this...

wow comon Rory !!

3 putt cam ???

a weird atmosphere up the last there, warm applause but cant help thinking a youngster from Aus doesnt really fit the bill of who the R&A wanted to win the 150 open

Wonder what a room at Rusacks goes for during Open Week

Young has had 2 absolute bottler putts he SHOULD'VE holed..could've been in p/off or even nicked it

could've,would've,should've..if he sleeps well he deserves his fate

So close..

Well played Cam you deserve it.

Superb, what an incredible round Smith has put together.

one of the best final rounds ever in a major...........

Like passing Scheffler for POTY if he adds an Open to a Players win.

Fair play to Cam, hasnt hit the centre of the club face once in 18 holes but can shoot 64. Who said it wasnt a putting contest....

what a fking awesome back 9 from Cam..u have been as good as it gets dude

Young..u should have nightmares ,dude

I wanted Rory to win, but Cam has been terrific today. Well played.

Just a lazy 30 shots on the way in.

That really has to be up there as one of best rounds at the Open. Quite stunning.

some of the mistakes from c young yesterday from around the greens.........holy moly, he could easily have won

the 2 Cams..-15 in the final rd..GTFOH..superb

Been a long time since we had a Larry Mize moment. Since Larry Mize really. C'mon Rory.

Rory must be properly chewed up inside.

Rory only got himself to blame, has only shot 70 in perfect conditions on a very gettable course

Superb performance !!

he'd get the tin tack as a postman

finish -18 or -19 in a major and you don't win ... doubt mcilroy will come back from this loss
brilliant putting display from smith ... drive for show but you putt for dough

finish -18 or -19 in a major and you don't win ... doubt mcilroy will come back from this loss
brilliant putting display from smith ... drive for show but you putt for dough

absolutely..if he could putt like Smith he'd have doubled his Major count but he can't and never will
plus u'd hardly want him in the trenches with u

You have to hand it to Smith, a truly wonderful round of golf.

Todd Hamilton, Ben Curtis, Darren Clarke..... Cameron Smith, you cant beat the open for throwing up some odd winners

wonder what Norman's offer will be to Cam when he sends a congratulatory text tomorrow.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well done champ. Bout time the Claret comes back to this wide brown land

yeah the Players Champion winner is a really odd winner. Well done Cam much deserved. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE

Rors 1.34 but no cigar

Ice cool putter does the job

looks a calm,phlegmatic dude,our Cam..could count the players on one hand who could've done that

Cam, JT and maybe Spieth I think Johnny.

Great rounds from the Camerons which mirrored
yesterday when Rory and viktor did same to them.

Wonderful finish, well played Cam Smith steady nerves
under pressure.

A deserved champion.

Streaky putters always capable of going low.. a good putter will always beat a good ball striker around links courses

when u can putt like he can and keep doing it u've always got a chance
ur country should be well proud

Great stuff ! ........Only 28 more years left ..... !

The Home of Golf will be the center of attention in July when the Old Course at St. Andrews hosts the 150th Open. But if it will be around for the 175th Open in 2047 or the 200th in 2072 is unclear, according to a climate-change study that suggests the area could be underwater as soon as 2050

Smith not a streaky putter just an outstanding one. Look at the stats.

Lumping Cam Smith in with Todd Hamilton ,Ben Curtis ,and the likes is ridiculous ,at the start of this year he was the hottest golfer in the game ,winning or contending in every tournament ,he will win more majors .

fair play to Wee Mac for coming out to chat..must be gutted

Mac drove the ball fantastically well and is an excellent player. People shouldn't compare him with Woods coz he's not as good. Still a great record and I think he will go close at the Masters.

Cam off to turn the jug into most expensive tinny in the world

@PGA_JohnDaly

Way to go Cam….great playing—incredible back 9! Oh, chalk another ✅ for the mullets!

now wheres that switch!!!    15 Jul 22     17:37
Cam will find a way to sniff the gas over the weekend. Not got the bottle for a major sadly.

now wheres that switch!!!   15 Jul 22       16:53
Timber you are obviously no golf fan. Irrelevant what Tigers score is, he could beat most of the mugs up there in worlds top 10 with one arm in prime. Sheffler swings and hits it like a 28 hcapper, DJ never been anything other than average, Rory crumbles under pressure swifter than a deck of cards, Rahm only has one stock shot and will never win another major. Golf has never been in such a poor position.

Quality stuff.  Any top 10 golfer in the owgr is a mug!   And Cam is a choker - one Cam wins the other is runner up so whichever one you were on about was either the Open champ. or the runner up! 

You couldn't make it up could you. Probably plays off 30.

This is why the golf forum is dead...pricks like this!

Cameron Young's eagle at the last (coupled with Rory's par) to move him to solo 2nd place was worth $522,000.

Astonishing.  Felt a little sorry for the lad ( in terms of the title not his earnings! ),  Played absolutely brilliant but leaked just too many bogies - seven in total, the winner had only two.  But what a worthy winner Smith is.  Cool as ice, consistent swing, great mental poise.  And he told us all after his second round when asked by the interviewee.  "The conditions reminded him of home"!  I didn't take the hint either.

nowwhere'sthat switch !!!


Wins the prize for the most posts of unadulterated bullsh!t

hopefully,u can follow suit...aftertimer handjob

As for the unwashed?  St Andrews Old must have been a pretty smelly place by your reckoning with 50,000 plus all crammed up together every day.  And even the waitresses and tealadies know more about the game that you appear to HG.

"and the champion putter for the year is cameron smith"    4 drivable par  4s  par pars  drive n pitch , other par 4 4 iron and a putter , this course IS NOT FIT FOR A PRO GOLF TOURNEY. all tradition   and pomp. if it was built last week and  a pro comp was  played on it , it would be correctly binned from  the tour rosta,  something like 23 players 10 to 20 under , please lets not  use this pitch and putt again!!!

I agree with you and have said so on here regularly.
