Cameron Smith won the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship for a third time with a three-shot victory after a weather-affected final round at Royal Queensland Golf Club.
The 150th Open Champion held an overnight three-shot lead but was caught early on the back nine, shortly after a second of weather suspension because of lightning.
Three birdies in a five-hole stretch from the 12th saw the World Number Three reassert his command as a closing three-under-par 68 saw him claim victory in the season-opening tournament co-sanctioned with the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia.
Australian Jason Scrivener and Japan's Ryo Hisatsune finished in a share of second at 11 under after rounds of 67 and 65, respectively.
