Elvis Smylie wins Australian PGA Championship, beating Cameron Smith

ABC  

Elvis Smylie has stared down Cameron Smith at his pet event to win the Australian PGA Championship and book a return to the European tour. The 22-year-old from the Gold Coast, son of former tennis star Liz Smylie, produced a string of clutch par saves and dodged Smith's last desperate swings in a bogey-free Sunday at Royal Queensland. Smylie and Smith traded birdies to begin their rounds but it was the protege — Smylie won former world number two Smith's scholarship in 2019 — who produced down the stretch with four gutsy par saves despite missing fairways and greens. LIV Golf star Smith kept swinging, though, a birdie on the 15th and a brilliant chip-in birdie from behind the 17th party hole green getting him within two shots with one hole to play.
