Cameron Smith

Mixed Zone

Q. Cameron, thanks so much for joining. Start off the day with a birdie; finished with a birdie. Talk to us about everything in between.

CAMERON SMITH: Yeah, it was really, really solid today. Probably the best ball striking day of the week. Just a couple of drives there on the back nine. Got unlucky a couple times there.

You know, that's just links golf. Just kept at and kept trying to make my birdies and carry on. No, really solid stuff.

Q. You made a nice move up the leaderboard. Currently six shots off the leader. What do you feel like you need to do tomorrow heading into the final round?

CAMERON SMITH: Yeah, it's going to take a big one tomorrow. Course is firming up nicely. Still not unplayable, birdies are still there, but it's going to have to be pretty perfect, I think. Louis and Jordan at the top of the leaderboard, two great competitors that'll be tough to catch.
