Cameron Smith creates history at the season opener

The 2022 season started with the famous Sentry TOC. The tournament is taking place at the Plantation Course in Kapalua and the par 73 golf course will be quite challenging due to the rain that it has received over the past month. Also, the fairways are soft and huge. Moreover, the key to succeeding at the golf course is hitting it straight and scoring, depending on the wind direction on the particular round. Some of golf’s biggest stars are playing for the winning prize money of $1.476 million. The prominent names include Phil Mickelson, Collin Morikawa as well as the world number one Jon Rahm.
