Cameron Smith will arrive at St Andrews buoyed by a spirited finish at the Genesis Scottish Open where the Queenslander shot 67 in the final round for a top-10 finish.

On a day at The Renaissance Club where fellow Australian Jason Scrivener’s five-under 65 was the best of the final round, Smith’s 67 elevated him from 28th into a tie for 10th and a nice shot of momentum ahead of this week’s Open Championship at the Home of Golf.

A second round of 75 – where Smith’s customary mullet was flowing wildly in the Scottish winds – meant that that the Aussie No.1 made the cut on the number.

A 68 on Saturday was a step in the right direction and then he continued his climb with three-under on Sunday featuring four birdies in his final eight holes.

A bogey at 18 prevented Smith from featuring even higher on the leaderboard but won’t take away from a growing belief that his game can transfer to the British links as he seeks to become just the fifth Australian to lift the Claret Jug.

Four-under through his first nine holes of the Championship, Scrivener began the final day outside the top 50.

He bogeyed his second hole before rattling off six birdies to soar into share of 16th ahead of his second straight Open Championship and first at St Andrews.

There was a big move in more ways than one too for Hira Naveed at the Epson Tour’s Twin Bridges Championship in New York.

An All-American Honorable Mention recipient in her final year at Pepperdine University, the West Australian was tied for 10th after two rounds at Pinehaven Country Club.

Enjoying her most consistent season on the Epson Tour, Naveed was one-over through 12 holes of her final round before finishing in a flurry, picking up four birdies in the space of five holes for a round of three-under 68 and tie for fourth.

After two top-10s already this season it is Naveed’s best finish on the Epson Tour and moves her from 42nd to 14th in the Race to the Card.

Despite a disappointing four-over 75 and tie for 17th Kim is projected to move up one spot to third on the season-long points race while Gabriela Ruffels could climb as high as 11th on the back of her tie for 30th.

Sarah Kemp’s Sunday 67 saw the Sydneysider finish tied for 15th at the Estrella Damm Ladies Open in Spain as Rod Pampling earned a share of 11th to be the best of the Aussies at the Bridgestone SENIOR PLAYERS Championship at Firestone Country Club.
