Cameron Smith charged his way into history on the Old Course, a Sunday stunner at St. Andrews that sent the Australian to his first major by overcoming Rory McIlroy to win the British Open.
Smith stole the show by running off five straight birdies to start the back nine and delivering more clutch moments at the end.
His 8-under 64 was the lowest final round by a champion in the 30 times golf's oldest champion has been played at St. Andrews.
Smith won by one shot over Cameron Young, who holed a 15-foot eagle putt on the final hole. It wasn't enough, and neither was anything McIlroy could muster.
