Open champion Cameron Smith won \u00a33.5m in prize money as he claimed his first LIV Golf title on his second start in the Saudi Arabian-backed series.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian, 29, beat Dustin Johnson and Peter Uihlein by three shots.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He finished with back-to-back birdies as he shot a closing three-under-par 69 in the 54-hole event in Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think I had to prove to probably myself and some other people that I am still a great player – I am still out here to win tournaments,” said Smith.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith finished on 13 under having started the day two shots clear of playing partner Johnson, the 2020 Masters champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Proud of how I hung in there today. Didn’t really have my best stuff the first eight or nine holes but stuck it through and made a few good putts coming in. It was nice,” added Smith, who won The Open at St Andrews in July.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith, <\/span>the highest-ranked player to join LIV Golf to date,<\/span><\/a> finished fourth on his debut two weeks ago in Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was one of 12 major champions in the 48-player field at the latest LIV event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson’s second place helped his 4 Aces team-mates Patrick Reed, Talor Gooch and Pat Perez win the team competition and a split of the \u00a32.6m first prize for the fourth successive event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Six-time major champion Phil Mickelson produced his best performance in a LIV event, finishing eighth thanks to a closing 66.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
