Smith Not Putting Pressure On Himself
The Straits Times
|March 05, 2025
Despite winless 2024, his focus is making himself better and the results will follow
The 2024 season was an anomaly for Cameron Smith, who failed to win an individual title, a first for the Australian golfer since 2019. While he led Ripper GC to LIV Golf's team championship title last campaign, Smith finished second six times in individual tournaments, including two play-off defeats at LIV Hong Kong and the PIF Saudi International.
But the 31-year-old is unfazed by his winless run and believes that his day in the winner's circle will come.
When asked what he needed to adjust to end the streak, he said: "Not much really. I think I'm doing a lot of good things at the moment and I've been working really hard.
"I'm just waiting for it to all come together. I'm not trying to put too much pressure on myself or expect too much of myself - just really getting out there, letting it go and trying to play some really good golf."
Smith was speaking to the media in a virtual call on March 4, ahead of LIV Singapore, which will be staged at Sentosa Golf Club's Serapong Course from March 14 to 16.
