Cameron Smith shares his mindset days before The Open Championship

Smith will be attempting to lift the Claret Jug at the 153rd edition of this golf major championship. Before he tees off alongside Marco Penge and Justin Hastings tomorrow, the golfer shared his feelings regarding the same.

Cameron Smith, while interacting with the press, gave a glimpse of his mental preparation before competing at The Open Championship. The Ripper GC golfer said (via Newswire):

"You’re going to hit some bad shots. You’re going to get blown over by the wind. The ball is going to do some crazy stuff. It’s just stuff that you have to take on and really move on with. You have to flight it. You have to shape it."

The Titleist golfer also shared his plans to fight against the odds in the upcoming showdown at Royal Portrush.

"I’ve been working hard hitting lots of shots, been working on my flights and all that stuff at home in preparation for this week or really the next three weeks," he added.

The LIV Golfer has a strong record at the upcoming golf major. Smith won the Open Championship back in 2022 with a one-stroke margin in the Old Course at St. Andrews.

In 7 starts at the Open, Smith made the cut five times, securing one win, one top 10, and two top 25s.
