2022 was a standout year for Smith, who won five times across multiple tours. The Australian star joined the immortals when he shot a final round of 64 to come from four shots back to win The 150th Open Championship at St Andrews. He followed that up with his first LIV Golf Invitational Series victory in Chicago. He captained Punch GC to a second-place finish at the Miami Team championship, shooting a 7-under 65 – three shots better than any other player – on the final day. Smith, who has represented Australia in several team events and won three Australian PGA Championships, reached the heights of No.2 in the world.
