Cameron Smith shows an incredible gesture at the FedEx St. Jude Championship
Fans considered Cameron Smith as one of the top and most likable golfers. However, he received a backlash after reports of him joining the LIV Golf Invitational Series emerged. But the 2022 Champion Golfer of the Year has neither confirmed nor denied the report and said he wants to concentrate on the FedExCup playoff.
Meanwhile, Smith’s errant shot hit a patron during the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Thankfully, the patron was unharmed, but sadly, his phone got damaged as the ball knocked it out of his hand. After such incidents, we usually see golfers signing a ball, glove, or other objects to compensate.
However, the Australian golfer went a step ahead and offered to buy him a phone. He wrote down the patron’s number and promised to buy him a brand new phone, which was an incredibly kind gesture from the golfer.
