LIV star Cameron Smith wins Australian PGA Championship

Cameron Smith has recorded a three-shot victory at the DP World Tour-affiliated Australian PGA Championship.

As a result of an ongoing legal battle, LIV Golf players are able to play in DP World Tour events until at least February, and Smith took advantage of that opportunity to participate in his homeland.

With chances to compete for world ranking points currently a rarity, the world number three boosts his position in the global standings with a dominant win in Brisbane.

Smith had held a three-shot lead after the third round and shooting one-under-par on the opening nine on Sunday only solidified that position.

Although he posted a bogey at the 11th, the 29-year-old responded with birdies at the 12th, 13th and 16th to finish clear . . .
