Cam Smith reveals one part of Bryson DeChambeau’s game he ‘wishes’ he had

Cameron Smith and Bryson DeChambeau were part of the final group at the LIV Mexico City event last weekend, with both coming up short as Joaquin Niemann triumphed

Ripper GC captain and LIV Golf star seems to envy one particular skill of his competitor Bryson DeChambeau. Last weekend saw Smith and DeChambeau vying for the top spot at the LIV Mexico City event, with DeChambeau entering the final round on Sunday with a slight edge.

However, both golfers were overtaken by the league’s hottest player, as Joaquin Niemann clinched his third season victory. Although he didn’t win in Mexico City, Smith had reasons to be upbeat, delivering his strongest performance of the year and tying for fifth place.

Renowned for his exceptional short game on both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, the 31-year-old former Open champion openly admires DeChambeau’s prowess off the tee, which has become a hallmark of his play.

Reflecting on his time playing alongside DeChambeau at Club de Golf Chapultepec, Smith shared, “Yeah, it’s nice playing with him.

“At times, I wish I could drive the ball like him. I often wonder about how much better of a golfer I would be if I could drive the ball like him.”

On the flip side, DeChambeau had high praise for Smith’s putting prowess. “Yeah, it’s scary when he gets on the greens,” the two-time U.S. Open champion commented about the Australian after playing alongside him over the weekend.
