Good morning

The 151st British Golf Open at Royal Liverpool 16 - 23 July 2023

Australian Cameron Smith will head to Royal Liverpool this weekend for his British Open defence after winning a second LIV Golf victory in London. Smith held off a fast finish from Masters champ Patrick Reed and fellow Aussie Marc Leishman to secure a one-shot win at Centurion and collecting a snappy 6-million-dollar winners cheque ... ha ha ha ha ha

Smith said that his mind was never far from his Open defence, and after four days “seeing the sights” in London, the Queenslander will head to Hoylake for his first look at the links course where he’ll try and win the Claret Jug again.
Hook in Cameron et al...

Kind regards

Good evening
Day 2 obviously still underway.

Of note though, Travis Smyth experienced the despair yesterday, but 24 hours later, the Australian made history on the same hole. The brand-new par-3 at 17 is the kind of hole that could make or break a round. Smyth found that out to his detriment in his opening round hitting his tee shot way too far on the way to a double bogey five.

He more than made amends on today though, hitting the first-ever hole-in-one on the par-3. At eight-over, it will not be enough for Smyth to make the cut on his Open and major debut, but in terms of consolation prizes, it surely does not get much better !!!!
