Just days after lifting the claret jug at St. Andrews, Cameron Smith received a phone call from the player he had just beaten: Rory McIlroy.
The dial was a last-ditch effort by McIlroy to convince the promising Aussie from spurning McIlroy’s beloved PGA Tour and signing with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league.
McIlroy previously shared his details of the call back in August, and now Smith has offered his version.
“I’ve always had respect for Rory, and I’ve liked what he says on the golf course,” Smith recently told the Sydney Morning Herald.
