The 28yo Queenslander has won the 150th British Open overnight, surging past the leaders with a “birdie blitz” over the last 9 holes. He had a shocker on day 3 but aced day 4 of the famed tournament, landing on a score of 20-under after shooting 8-under overnight. The course at St Andrews is notoriously hard, but Smith made 5 straight birdies on the 10th to 14th holes – for the uninitiated, that means it took him one less shot than allowed on the hole to make par. “To look at these names on this trophy and then add mine is unreal. I’m lost for words. I’m definitely going to find out how many beers fit in this thing, that’s for sure,” he said. It’s Smith’s first major title, and he’s the first Aussie to win the British Open since Greg Norman in 1993. According to fans, Smith’s moustache and mullet put him on a winning trajectory. “That hair deserves all the majors,” tweeted one supporter.
