ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- Golf's major season ended with Australia's Cameron Smith winning the 150th edition of The Open and lifting the Claret Jug at St. Andrews on Sunday.
Smith became the sixth straight player in his 20s to win a major and the second consecutive first-timer. Matt Fitzpatrick picked up his first at the U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, in June.
Unfortunately, the next major, which is the Masters, won't come for another nine months. The FedEx Cup playoffs will still be played in August and the Presidents Cup in September, but another major season has come and gone.
