OK, we’re calling it: as a media performer, Ripper GC captain Cam Smith makes a damn good golfer!
The 2022 Open champion has made a career out of pulling off clutch shots under pressure. Whether it’s a 150th Open Championship up for grabs or a team title on the line on the LIV Golf tour, Smith rarely disappoints. But give him a scripted line to trot out in front of the safety of LIV Golf cameras, and Cam gets, well, very weak at the knees.
Such was the case when he was required to help promote LIV Golf’s new Fantasy league recently. The normally unflappable Queenslander made an absolute meal out of the line: “Want your chance at winning a swing analysis? Sign up to Fantasy now…” At least that’s what we think he was trying to articulate.
Watch his performance here:
It’s a good thing Smithy is one of the finest golfers on the planet and making more money than he’ll ever need because topping up that super with a career in showbiz isn’t looking great at this point.
But being the realist he is, Smith made a very good suggestion on how to get the job done.
“Just get AI to do it,” he barked before pulling the pin.
Fair shout, Cam. It might be the only option left after this.
