“That was good – I hit a lot of good putts. Conditions were good. I feel like the greens are firmer and faster than they’ve ever been. I’ve been doing a lot of chipping and putting. I’ve been trying to get back into it with that part of my game, getting comfortable with that, and it definitely showed today. It was good to see the work pay off a little bit.”

“I want to win. I want to win every tournament I play in, but this one in particular has been really good to me. Being in Brisbane, I don’t know how much longer the tournament’s going to be here. It’s a bit up in the air at the moment. It’d be nice to go out on a win if it’s the last time here,” Smith added.
