A final round of 64 saw Australia’s Cameron Smith win the 150th Open, and his first Major, at St Andrews on Sunday.
Smith began the day four shots off the lead but his eight-under-par final round lifted him to 20-under for the championship and saw him finish a shot clear of Cameron Young of the United States, with Rory McIlroy another shot back in third.
Dean Burmester was the best-placed South African, with his final-round 66 taking him to 11 under for a share of 11th.
