It’s been a rough week at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open for LIV Golf star Cameron Smith, who made his displeasure known about course conditions, hoping to build off a second-place finish at the recent Australian PGA Championship.

Cameron Smith is not happy with the conditions at the opening week of the Australian Open, considering that heavy rain is not the reason for soft and slow layouts. The 31-year-old believes that the course was not set up as expected this time.

Lucas Herbert drained an eagle at the last in a flawless eight-under-par 63 Thursday to lead the Australian Open in Melbourne and upstage LIV Golf teammate Cameron Smith who trails by two.

Lucas Herbert shot an 8-under 63 at Victoria Golf Club to take the first-round lead at the Australian Open, with 2022 British Open champion Cameron Smith two strokes behind

Just ask Cameron Smith, who, through 9 holes during Friday’s second round at the Australian Open, sat at 11-under par overall. He was squarely in the mix, jockeying with fellow Australian Lucas Herbert for the pole position.
