Smith wins LIV Golf London event ahead of British Open

British Open champion Cameron Smith sent a warning shot to his rivals after winning the LIV Golf London event at Centurion Golf Club on Sunday.

Smith shot a three-under 68 to finish on 15 under, one shot ahead of American Patrick Reed and fellow Australian Marc Leishman.

The event was the last one for Smith before the 29-year-old defends his Open Championship later this month.

The 151st edition of the British Open begins on Jul 20 at The Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake.
