Cameron Smith: What Cameron Smith said about his 2 year winless streak before Round 3 of LIV Golf Mexico

Heading into the final round of LIV Golf Mexico, Cameron Smith was having a good tournament. He was placed second behind Bryson DeChambeau after Round 2 on Saturday.

Speaking at a press conference, Smith reflected on his 2 year winless streak and how it felt being "in contention" in the final round.

"It's disappointing not to win particularly through a season. I think it's definitely on everyone's radar. I wouldn't say it's a goal really but it's nice to do. But being in contention tomorrow and today was so much fun. It's been a while for me to be able to top the leaderboard so I am really enjoying it," he said.

However, the ace golfer's performance in the final round of LIV Golf Mexico was underwhelming. He recorded two birdies and three bogeys to close the day at 72. The Ripper GC captain eventually finished T5 at the tournament, tied with Tyrrell Hatton.

While Bryson DeChambeau had been leading the standings for the first two rounds, it was Joaquin Niemann who snatched his third victory this year at Club de Golf Chapultepec. The former had to settle for T2 with Lucas Herbert.
