Cameron Smith is poised to miss the cut at the Australian Open and deliver tournament organisers a hammer blow in Melbourne.
He shot a one-over 73 at Kingston Heath in the first group on Friday morning, less than 24 hours after aSmith took two unplayables in his outward nine at the Heath, and despite rallying the large galleries with back-to-back birdies to start his inward nine, struggled to gain any momentum after that.
“I just felt really uncomfortable all day,” Smith said. “It was similar to [Thursday]. I couldn’t quite hit the ball out of the middle of the club face for some reason or another. I think the mind was a little bit foggy, I was a little tired as well after such a big week.“I had a lot of adrenalin going last week, especially out on the golf course. It’s just kind of all hit me at once. I need to play better than that, even if I am tired. That was pretty rubbish out there today.
Barron, effectively in his first year as a professional, was tied at five under with Josh Geary after two rounds, with leader David Micheluzzi to complete his second round later on Friday.
