Cameron Smith (Australia) achieved a ‘great victory’.

On the 13th (local time), at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, USA (par 71, 7,562 yards), Smith added 3 under par in the final 3rd round of the 11th LIV Golf 2023 season tournament Bedminster (total prize money $25 million) to secure a 7-stroke win (12 under par 201). This was his second win of the season and third overall since last month’s London tournament, with a winner’s prize of $4 million. Smith also won the team event, earning a total of $4.75 million (approximately 6.3 billion KRW) from this tournament.

Smith started with a 4-stroke lead and recorded 5 birdies and 2 bogeys. Although he began shakily with bogeys on holes 1 and 3, he changed the momentum with a birdie on the 6th hole (par 4), then pulled away from his competitors with three consecutive birdies on holes 8 through 10. Smith celebrated his victory by adding another stroke on the 15th hole (par 5). He is a player with 6 PGA Tour wins and 4 DP World Tour (formerly European Tour) wins. After winning the Open Championship last year, he moved to LIV Golf.

Anirban Lahiri (India) finished 2nd (5 under par 208), Patrick Reed (USA) 4th (4 under par 209), and Brandon Grace (South Africa) 6th (3 under par 210). Phil Mickelson (USA), who was recently alleged to have lost $100 million (about 130 billion KRW) gambling, struggled with 4 over par and dropped to 10th place (1 under par 212). Dustin Johnson was 14th (even par 213), Bryson DeChambeau 18th (1 over par 214), and Brooks Koepka (all USA) finished 38th (7 over par 220).
