14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,879

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: the NRL players come back into light. I didn't realize

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: that he's just come out of nowhere.

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: Well to meroab the most known Cameron Smith in the

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: world right now. Yeah, being the Open champion. I mean

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: he played really well, especially on the back nine.

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 4: You know, thirty and ten through fourteen and then the

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: shot on seventeen where he put it behind the bunker

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 4: and he was in all sorts of trouble.

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: I've been there myself and I know how difficult it is.

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: And you know, he had a fantastic shot to about

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: twelve foot hold apart he had nerves as steal. I mean, yeah,

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: good on him. He's such a nice young kid. I

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: first played with him when he was seventeen in Queensland

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: and you could see he's a very good golfer back then.

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: But you know now he's won the Players Championship this

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: year and the Open champion.

31
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: His dad said that Karen was twelve when he first

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: beat his dad, and his dad said even before that

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: he knew that he was going to be something special.

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely I could see it when he was seventeen years

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: of age of how good a golfer he is going

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: to become, because he just had all of the traits

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: of a good golfer. Hit the ball long, straight, good

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: iron play, a good short game, part of well, pretty

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: good combination.

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: His dad is that coming from a small club, which

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: is a club about half an hour from Brisbane, has

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: stopped him sort of being up himself, and that he'll

43
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: no matter what his achievements will be, he'll always stay

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: the same kind of.

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Guy, no question. He hasn't changed to this point. I

46
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: don't see any reason why he would change at all,

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: because that's just the grounding that he has hat because

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: he's got.

49
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: A great, big house in Florida as well. So he's

50
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: done very well out of it, hasn't he.

51
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: Most golfers tend to do all right.

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's right. Yesterday was the first time a lot

Speaker 2: he's been a big deal for a long time.

55
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. The last probably decade. He has done

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,519
