Golf: Queensland golfer Cameron Smith has committed to playing in this year's Australian Open and the Australian PGA tournaments.
Smith commits to 2024 Australia n Open | 00:42In a throwback to golf’s halcyon days in Australia , the nation’s most recent male major winner is playing in an off broadway event on the local tour this week.
Defending his title at the Australian PGA Championship, Smith missed the cut at Royal Queensland before finishing tied 17th at the Australian Open in Sydney the following week. “I thought it was a really good opportunity to help out the Aussie tour and keep the competitive reps going before the couple of big ones at the end of the year. It’s been six or seven weeks now since my last tournament so really getting out here and staying competitive.
He the only major champion in the field at Nudgee this week, and is undisputedly the best player there. “‘Reyno’ really wanted to do it. It would have been fun for him to do it being this kind of event where people can walk around in the fairways,” Smith said.Next on Smith’s schedule is the NSW Open - which is being played at Murray Downs on the Murray River - before taking part in the Australian summer’s two most prominent events, the Australian PGA Championship and the Australian Open.
For Croker, it has a big change from almost 12 months ago when he was working as part of the grounds crew at Royal Queensland Golf Club during the Australian PGA Championship where Smith attracted packed galleries.“Obviously it depends on the type of week he has. If he has a very good week, it’s probably going to be better than your very good week.
