ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Cam Smith describes himself as a natural putter. It’s mostly about feel and setup.
He said he doesn’t focus too much on lag putting, more so on rolling in 10- and 15-footers.
“I practice with a mirror for probably 20 minutes a day, and to be honest, that's about it,” he said.
Whatever practice the Aussie does paid off perfectly in the most crucial of moments Sunday at the 150th Open Championship. Displaying skill in both lag and mid-range putting, Smith authored the signature moment of his major triumph at the par-4 17th.
