Cameron Smith British Open History
Smith has made four Open Championship starts and missed the cut once on debut in 2017. He's since finished T-20 for his best finish in 2019.
Smith's best single-round score in the Open Championship was a 66 in Round 2 of the 2019 Open at Royal Portrush, but a 76 on Sunday dropped him down to a T-20 finish.
Cameron Smith British Open Prediction & Pick
Smith ranks No. 2 on Tour in birdie average and No. 4 in scoring average this season. His short game and putting stats both rank top-10 on Tour over his last 50 rounds. The Aussie's iron game is fit to handle any changing weather and wind conditions as he showed in winning the 2022 Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.
Smith was fifth when halfway at Portrush in 2019, and he's much improved since then. He's a capable threat, and a top-10 finish is well within reach with his creative shot making and short game. Pairing his talents, recent performances and potential, Smith looks like a worthy bet, and anything outside a top-20 or top-30 (-130) finish would be a major disappointment with his form showing well last week at the Scottish Open (T-10) as well.
