Australian Cameron Smith claimed his maiden major title after winning The 150th Open. Smith posted a final round 64 to finish the tournament with a score of 20 under par. Cameron Young eagled the last and as a result finished solo second at 19 under par. Rory McIlroy, one of yesterday’s leaders, completed the top three.
The 150th Open final leaderboard:
This is Cameron Smith’s sixth PGA Tour title and his third of the year. With today’s win Cameron Smith becomes the first Australian with a win at the Open since 1993 when Greg Norman won at Royal St George’s. Thanks to his triumph at St. Andrews Australian Cameron Smith will move to second in the world which is a jump with four spots.
Rory McIlroy played solid today, he made two birdies without losing a shot, but this simply was not enough. The former world number one finished inside the top 10 at all four majors this season, but it has been eight years since his last triumph in any of the big four tournaments.
