Cameron Smith, award
Cameron Smith thus crowned a formidable season, which saw him win the The Players Championship (the fifth Major) and, above all, the Open Championship in St.
Andrews (can you ask for more?). The ranking based on which recognition is awarded by the PGA of America is fueled by the points that are awarded to players based on their performance at the most important events of the season.
Smith prevailed by just two points (96 vs 94) over Scottie Scheffler, who had already won the title of PGA Tour Player of the Year. Third place, Rory McIlroy, suffered a large gap, having only taken 62 points. But the FedEx champion was consoled with the Vardon Trophy, which the PGA of America awards annually to the player who recorded the best adjusted average score, calculated over at least 60 full laps.
McIlroy prevailed with an average of 68,670, followed by Smith with 69,203. Returning to the Champion Golfer of the Year, someone noticed the fact that the recognition given to him by the overseas PGA has passed a bit on the sly.
But righteous celebrations await Smith in his homeland. In November he will return home to take part in the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship, which will be played at the Royal Queensland Golf Club, and the ISPS Handa Australian Open, which will be played on the Victoria and Kingston Health Golf Club course.
