Records are meant to be broken. The latest to justify this statement is the 2022 Open Championship winner, Cameron Smith. Ever since his debut in 2013, the current World No. 2 has been impressing the golf world with his performance. However, it is the year 2022 that has statistically been the most fruitful for him so far.

Following his win at the 2022 Players Championship and the 2022 Open Championship, the 29-year-old Australian recently made headlines for his impressive stats. Making birdie or better 38.3% of the time on the green this season, he now holds the best percentage in the history of the PGA Tour.

Learning about the stats, Golf Digest recently took to its Twitter handle, sharing the news in the hope of getting praising reactions from fans. However, little did they know that the fans were fumed up with something bigger. While a handful of fans commended Smith for the stats, a majority of them slammed the Australian for his participation rumors in the LIV Golf Tour.

Needless to say, the applaud worthy feat clearly acted as a spark in the already lit fire. Learning about the feat, a Twitter user reacted saying, “And he’s going to use his talent to chase money instead of history. I can’t blame him though.
