Cameron Smith, 2019 Emirates Australian Open, Round 2

Q. Tell us about the 11th hole.

CAMERON SMITH: It was pretty interesting. I’ve actually had trouble with that hole in the past with that left pin. Those bushes have got a bit of a magnet for my ball. It was a bit of a dud hole, but I managed to get through it and kind of got over it and get on with business.

Q. Is it possible to make a good triple bogey? That was a really good putt you hit above the hole.

CAMERON SMITH: I guess if there is such a thing it was a good putt. That’s probably the only positive I took from that hole. I got up on the next hole and hit a good drive and forgot about it.

Q. How’d you get your mind back in the game?

Release a bit of anger. I think I hit the bag and then took a drink of water and kind of got over it. That’s about it I think.

Do you still feel like you can make a run at this tournament?

CAMERON SMITH: It’s just a big weekend. I just have to make no more mistakes like that. I actually played really solid on the front nine and missed a few opportunities. It kind of wasn’t my day with the putter. If those putts go in and we’re standing here one or two off the lead. It is what it is.

Q. Do you feel you’re playing better than the score indicates?

CAMERON SMITH: I think so. Having a triple doesn’t help, but even before that I felt I left four or five shots out there. I feel like I’m playing good. Like I said, I just need the putts to go in.

Q. Is it the sort of course you can go really low?

CAMERON SMITH: It’s obviously dependant on conditions. If it is like it was this afternoon, for sure you can go out there and have a good one if the greens stay quite soft. We’ll see what they throw at us tomorrow.
