1x PGAT winner calls out AI-generated in-game picture while discussing Cam Smith's Links shot at The Open

PGA Tour winner Michael Kim reacted to a Cam Smith's links shot in a recent social media post. On Friday, golf analyst Jamie Kennedy shared a picture of the LIV golfer's shot at the 150th Open Championship, which was held at St Andrews.

Kennedy shared a picture of the Australian golfer playing on the 17th hole of the fourth round and wrote:

"Best LINKS shot of this century? What’s the first shot that comes to your mind?"

Michael Kim reacted to the post in the comments section and wrote:

"It’s def not this putt. Cool looking shot but Padraig Harrington 5wd is 100x harder to pull off."

However, a fan shared a picture from the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open of a shot of Will Zalatoris with a caption:

"Is it harder than doing this though?"

Kim reacted to it and wrote:

"This picture is AI generated. Can’t be real lol"

Zalatoris stunned the fans with his unbelievable shot at the PGA Tour event, as he hit the ball, and it perfectly landed on Matt Fitzpatrick's ball marker.

At the 2022 Open Championship, Cam Smith was phenomenal with his game. He won the major by registering a one-stroke win over Cameron Young. Rory McIlroy settled in a solo third place in the tournament.

Smith started his campaign with an opening round of 67 and then played the mercy round of 64. He struggled in the third round of the tournament and played a round of 73 before carding 64 in the final to win the major. However, he has struggled in the majors in 2025.
