Cameron Smith fuming as to to clock at Australian Open

Slow Play Drama: Cameron Smith hits out at his compatriot Elvis Smylie for their group being put on the clock during the second round of the Australian Open.

Cameron Smith has hit out at his compatriot and playing partner Elvis Smylie for putting their group on the clock in the second round of the Australian Open at Kingston Heath.

Smith, 31, raced out the blocks in the second round with an eagle on 1 followed by birdies at 3, 5 and 6 to charge to the top of the leaderboard.

But then as his group – which included last week’s Australian PGA champion Smylie and PGA Tour pro Victor Perez – was put on the clock at the start of the back nine, the wheels flew off for Smith.
