Did Cameron Smith win the Queensland PGA Championship? Final leaderboard explored

No, Cameron Smith didn't win the 2024 Queensland PGA Championship. Smith tied for third at the tournament held at Nudgee Golf Club in Brisbane. The tournament concluded on November 3, 2024.

Smith scored 67, 72, 71, and 70 in the four rounds of the tournament. He finished with an aggregate score of 8-under 280 and tied for third with Blake Proverbs. Smith finished three shots below the winner, Phoenix Campbell. Talking about his performance in the tournament, Smith said (via PGA Australia):

"I feel like I played some really good golf this week. Just missed so many putts from inside 15 feet and felt like I hit plenty of good putts. I don’t feel like I need to go out there and reinvent the wheel or anything the next week or so."

"It's nice to play four rounds of competition and kind of feel the juices flow again. I’ll take a bit from that. I feel like my game’s in a really good spot. I just need to keep doing what I’m doing," he added.

Cameron Smith won $15,000 and is positioned 22nd in the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit.

Phoenix Campbell won the 2024 Queensland PGA Championship. He won the tournament in the playoffs with a par on the second hole. Campbell defended his title and became the first player to win the tournament consecutively after Lucas Parsons. Last year, he won the tournament as an amateur.

After the win, he said:

"Defending is definitely tougher. Last year I came from the clouds. I was in the clubhouse with four or five groups to come in still so it was a very different experience. There wasn’t much pressure on me. No one really expected much from you."

"This week, coming in, there’s a lot more expectations and obviously leading every day of the tournament. It’s a different event, so I can’t really compare myself to last year, but it just shows how far I’ve come in the last 12 months and that I’m on the right track," he added.

Campbell received a prize money of $45,000 for winning the 2024 Queensland PGA Championship from a total purse of $250,000. He is positioned third on the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit.
