AUGUSTA, Ga. – A new Masters sandwich debuted Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club: “The Cam,” eight birdies in between double bogeys.
For 16 holes, Cameron Smith had an appetite for scoring as he played Nos. 2-17 in 8 under with no blemishes. But Nos. 1 and 18 were different stories with Smith going 4 over on those two holes to eventually spoil his chances at the first-round lead.
“Obviously really frustrating; I think it'll motivate me the next few days,” Smith said of his bookend doubles, which left him with an opening 4-under 68. “I feel like I played some really solid golf today, and to be 4 under is a little bit disappointing.
