After a seven-under 65 on Thursday, he followed up with a 67 at Linkou International Golf and Country Club to lead by one at the halfway stage on 12-under from 2012 winner Gaganjeet Bhullar from India and Smyth’s fellow Australian Jack Thompson.

A further shot back are Thailand’s Poom Saksansin, Pavit Tangkamolprasert, Phachara Khongwatmai, and Nitithorn Thippong, Lee Chieh-po from Chinese-Taipei — second here last year — Justin Quiban from the Philippines and Swede Bjorn Hellgren.

“It was pretty tough conditions today,” said Australian Smyth, whose victory last season remain his only win on the Asian Tour.

“The wind was mainly across on like just about every hole, so it was hard to get pin high — had to be very patient. It wasn’t as clean as it was yesterday. But to shoot five-under, it was a pretty good score. I would have been happy with anything under par to be honest, it was it was tough.”

One birdie on the front and four on the back, including on 18, saw him snatch the outright lead at the end, to set up a thrilling weekend.

He added: “I mean, it’s good that [last year’s win] is in the back of my mind. It’s in the memory bank, but that was last year, this is this year. A lot has changed, a lot can happen. A lot of golf to be played, so I just keep trying to hit good shots and good putts and add it up at the end.”

First-round leader Natipong Srithong from Thailand carded a 73 and is eight-under in a tie for 17th.

While he has not tasted victory this season, the 28-year-old Australian has been in fine form, with a third in the World City Championship in Hong Kong and six top 20s. In addition, he has not missed a cut in nine starts.

“It was a great boost to my confidence,” he said of his win last year, which saw him beat defending champion Lee Chieh-po from Chinese-Taipei, by two shots. “I have continued to play solidly, since the win. It did me a world of good. I have had a solid season. I got off to good start in Saudi and I have solid in The International Series. I played my first major this year, thanks to the Hong Kong event, and I had a bunch of top 10s and a lot of solid play. I am happy with where the game is at.”

That major was The Open in July — which he qualified for via his strong finish in Hong Kong — and although he failed to make it through to the weekend, he made headlines worldwide by making a hole-in-one on the new par-three 17th at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, which was the first-ever ace there.

It was another memorable moment in the early days in the career of a young golfer who hopes to go far in the game.

“I definitely want to win again but I am just focused on getting better, keeping doing the things I am doing, working hard on all aspects of my game, off the course as well,” said Smyth, who also played in the inaugural LIV Golf event in London last year. “Hopefully, if I keep doing what I am doing, I will get more and more consistent, and contend for titles more often on Sunday.”

He played near perfect golf to win here last year, firing successive six-under-par 66s over the weekend to finish on 19-under.

The Australian had started the final day with a one-shot lead and proved enough after he birdied four of the first six to make the turn in four-under before virtually wrapping things up by making three birdies in a row from the 10th.

With a healthy lead, a surprise double-bogey on the 15th, which were his only dropped shots of the day, was not too damaging, particularly as he responded with his final birdie of the day on the next.

The victory, which saw him become the first Australian to win the event, made up for narrowly failing to win the International Series England in June.

“All the memories of the win have come flooding back this week,” said Smyth. “I played nine holes and remembered every shot I hit on the back nine in the final round last year. It’s really good to be back and have no lock down situation like last year. We are free to roam the city and go out to restaurants, so I am really looking forward to this week.

“It’s a really, really, tight course and you have to hit it really, really straight off the tee. The small greens mean you require a lot of precision with your approach shots. Putting was quite difficult. The greens are a little bit slower than what we are used to week in, week out. But the course is in great condition this year, everyone is in for a treat.”

Lee, who won the event in 2021 when it was part of the Chinese-Taipei domestic circuit and not the Asian Tour because of COVID-19 travel restrictions, is looking go one better this year.

He said: “I am very happy to be back playing the Yeangder TPC. Came very close to winning last year. I’m excited to give it another go this week. I’ve been playing well this year. Had a couple of good finishes as well so I’m ready to give my best again this week. The aim is to do better than I did last year.”

The fifth event of The International Series 2023 schedule at Close House, outside Newcastle, will mark the 28-year-old’s second appearance in England this year after making his major debut in The Open in July.

Excited to be back in the UK, Smyth said: “I’ve had some time off since The Open so I’m buzzing to be here and buzzing to play. I haven’t competed in too many tournaments over the last three months, so I can’t wait.”

Now at a crucial point in the season, Smyth is battling it out for the top spot on the International Series Order of Merit to earn an automatic berth in the lucrative LIV Golf League for 2024.

“I view them [International Series events] as majors because of what they can potentially achieve. It changed my life, financially, freed me up and I’ve been able to play good golf ever since,” Smyth said. “It is an amazing pathway that appeared out of nowhere.”

Acknowledging the investment made by LIV Golf, he added: “LIV’s involvement in the game has been transformative. I’m thrilled to be part of this transitional phase with the game of golf and the Asian Tour.”

The Sydney native made history with his appearance at The 151st Open — hitting the first ever hole-in-one on the new par-3 17th hole at Royal Liverpool.

Recalling his unforgettable ace, he reflected on the special moment: “I’ve never had so much applause over a single golf shot in my life. Once you get a taste of that, it’s intoxicating. I’ll be working harder than ever to get back.”

Smyth, who lost out by a stroke to Kieran Vincent at Slaley Hall on the last International Series visit to England, will be joined by Ryder Cup legends Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood, 2010 US Open Champion Graeme McDowell, and many more renowned golfers with representatives from 11 of the LIV Golf League’s 12 teams featuring in the event.

Referring to the household names teeing it up on Tyneside, Smyth concluded: “I guess now I’m of age, and playing good enough golf and it just so happens that they’re playing Asian Tour events now. It’s just wild getting to meet them, seeing them around the clubhouse and having them call me by my first name. Yeah, it’s cool.”

Within the scorecard holder which sits in my back pocket every time I play golf is a piece of paper. On that piece of paper are 13 different numbers, one for each club in my bag. It’s been there since last year, after I went through a relatively painstaking process of hitting 20 shots with each club, on a launch monitor, and averaging out the distances for every club in my bag (minus my putter, of course).

I’ve come to depend on it. I’d probably surrender half the clubs in my bag before that piece of paper. Knowing my exact yardages with every club has legitimately helped me — until last week.

Sneaking in a few rounds in the neighbouring links courses around Royal Liverpool with some fellow Golf Digest staffers (we call these “research rounds”), it immediately became clear how worthless that piece of paper was on those courses. For the first time since I jotted those numbers down, I played golf never bothering to consider it.

So much golf, from the PGA Tour et al. is a game of execution. Picking a spot, and trying to hit it to that number. Like throwing a dart at the centre of a dartboard, your success or failure starts and ends with you alone.

Links golf is different. A certain wind will send a driver across a fairway, rather than down it. Or float it high and away into nowhere. Links courses can turn a 9-iron into a 5-iron, and a 5-iron into the best sand wedge in your bag.

Mastering most golf courses means imposing your will as a golfer on to the layout. Links golf requires a meshing with what’s in front of you, in that current moment. Sometimes that means putting the driver away for good, as Tiger Woods did when he won at Royal Liverpool in 2006. Other times, it may mean calling upon a shot you may have never played before. Never does it require scribbling numbers on to a piece of paper.

“There are several different options to play each golf hole,” Brian Harman said of Royal Liverpool. “If you’re into the wind you can hit way more club and send it up in the air to try to stop it, or you can try to finesse something lower. I enjoy the variety of shots you have to hit.”

There’s a famous quote from the legendary British golf writer, Bernard Darwin, that the elements at Hoylake make Royal Liverpool a “breeder of great champions”. The history certainly backs it up, from Walter Hagan to Bobby Jones, to Peter Thompson, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Brian Harman isn’t the name you’d expect to follow on that list. But standing in the rain as the 36 year-old hoisted the claret jug, Hoylake had done it again. Brian Harman was the man who forsook the formulas and mastered his feel instead. It’s the only way to conquer the elements of links golf. And in doing so Harman proved he is, undoubtedly, a great champion.

1. Good putting is boring putting

There was a lot of talk about putting at Royal Liverpool. Scottie Scheffler couldn’t make putts. Neither could Rory McIlroy, or Tommy Fleetwood. Brian Harman could, so he won.
Harman was, indeed, a tremendous putter at Royal Liverpool. But what, exactly, does that mean?
When most of us think about “good putting”, we think of draining long putts, and walking in 20-footers for birdie. Harman’s stats tell a different story. He gained 11.57 strokes on the green last week, but the longest putt he dropped all week was just over 30 feet. Rory McIlroy dropped two putts longer than that over those same 72 holes. So did Scheffler, and 29 other players.
Harman’s elite putting performance instead was predicated on making the boring, extraordinary. He didn’t have a three putt. He missed just one putt inside 10 feet, and none inside of five feet. When you do that, no one else can stand a chance.
“I expect to make those putts,” he said.
The problem the rest of us have is that we expect to make the wrong putts. Sure, it’s fun to drop 15 and 20 footers, but missing those doesn’t really matter, in the scheme of things. Making more of those putts five and 10 feet. Missing those are the killer of good rounds, and the key to avoiding bad ones.
Good putting doesn’t mean dropping bombs. It means making lots of little ones.

2. Know how to ditch spin in a hurry

Every time a golfer hits a ball, it flies into the air with backspin. It’s backspin that keeps the ball in the air. Of course, that’s not what you want when the wind starts gusting, as it did early during Open Championship week.
Killing lots of spin in a hurry strikes me as a pretty essential skill, for all golfers. This week, most pros I talked to said they generally settle on a combination of taking more club, swinging softer, and teeing the ball slightly higher (the ball being propped up in the rough has the same effect).
“When you’re trying to hit a low one, you are coming in quite steep. It’s easier off a tee, so you’re not catching the ground instantly at impact, which will create spin, which into the wind you don’t want to do,” said Travis Smyth after his hole-in-one on the 17th hole. “I took an extra club and chipped it.”
Simple enough, and something to keep in mind the next time you find yourself facing a stiff breeze.

3. Distance varies way more than you think

Of course, reducing your spin only mitigates the effects of an into wind shot. Ultimately, if you’re into wind, the ball is going to go shorter. Same with if it’s raining. Watching the pros slog it out on Sunday made me realise that the rest of us have a woeful under-appreciation for how much the rain, or wind, will affect our shots.
The reality is a player could be capable of hitting it 320 yards one day, but put that same player in certain elements, and they may struggle to crack 250 yards — as Rory McIlroy proved.

316 yards, 132 yards in

— LKD (@LukeKerrDineen) July 23, 2023

“If it’s raining a little heavier, an iron could easily go 20 yards shorter,” Sepp Straka, who finished T-2.
Sure, into the wind, the rest of us will take an extra club. Maybe two. Really, there should be time when we take five extra clubs, or expect a 70-yard decrease on a given drive. It’s uncomfortable to think about, but it’s half the battle when playing in the elements. And it’s something pros don’t think twice about.

4. It’s the external factors that kill you

If you’ve noticed so far, a lot of the things I learnt have to do with external factors. All the stuff that’s out there. There are lots of things out there, especially during Opens, and it’s easy to let them screw us up.
Even for pros.
For Emiliano Grillo, it was the wind on the driving range. It was blowing left-to-right most days. Perfect to counteract his draw. Then he stands up on the second hole, and for the first time, finds the wind blowing right-to-left toward out of bounds. That baby draw which was flying straight on the range is about to turn into a hook.
“It’s so hard to make the switch,” he said. “Standing on the second hole, I bailed out right both days. I probably hit my ball 100 yards right.”
For Max Homa, it was the hassle of moving everything around in the rain.
“The umbrella to the glove to the yardage book to the umbrella, it just gets tiring holding the dang thing and shuffling it around,” he said after I asked him the most difficult part of playing in the rain. “You just feel very out of sorts. It takes a few holes to get going.”
Yet both those players had their best Open Championship finish ever. As did Ben An, who says it was always unlucky bounces that would often send his rounds into a mental, downhill spiral. He said things only started to change recently, when he accepted those will happen and there’s nothing he’ll be able to do about it. The central skill in golf isn’t avoiding them altogether, but sucking them up and moving on when they do happen.
“I realised I usually get beaten by the golf course, not by other players,” he says. “I still have to work very hard on it, but I don’t lose my mind as much as I did before … It’s not perfect, but you have to learn to let it go, like what are you going to do next.”

5. Go short or long of trouble, but never around

The third hole is a quirky layout where an old racetrack used to be. A wall signifying out of bounds cuts in from the right at about 250 yards. During the previous two Opens at Royal Liverpool, players would hit a no-brainer iron miles short of it. This year, for the first time, players had introduced a third strategy: Sending a driver over the out of bounds, over the fairway, into the rough. Amateur Christo Lamprecht, who won the silver medal for low amateur after leading through 18 hole, opted for that strategy on day one. He birdied the hole.

“It makes sense,” Bryson DeChambeau says. “You can take the OB out of play every time that way.”
While some players opted for ‘over it’ strategy the first two days, they abandoned it once the weekend rain came. But this was an interesting insight how they think about avoiding absolute, no-go areas like out of bounds: When trying to avoid a hazard, you need to either hit something short that has no chance of going into the hazard long, or something so long that it has no chance of catching the hazard short. Don’t flirt with it, and don’t try going around it.
On a slightly separate note, many proponents of a golf ball rollback would point to something like this as evidence the golf ball does need to get rolled back. I’m not unconvinced by that argument, but in this case, I’m just not sure that would tell the entire story.
Being able to go over everything does give this hole different shot options, which is the guiding principle for so much of the rollback debate. And because that ‘go for it’ option only requires a carry of about 260 yards, it’s a feat most long hitters could accomplish even with a persimmon driver — especially with the right wind.
Rather, this strategy exists now and not before because golfers in 2023 understand the statistical value of being in the rough, if it means being closer to the hole.
“There is typically something bad in play, constantly, so you might as well get it as close to the hole as you can,” says Scott Fawcett, the founder of Decade Golf. “Especially in major championship golf.”
Intentionally trying to hit your ball in the rough is simply not an idea which made sense until we had data that proved why it can. Wherever you may land on the rollback debate, that genie isn’t going back in the bottle.

6. Fully commit to a feeling that works

As often happens with these articles, I’m quickly approaching my word limit, so a quick note on how much I love that Adrian Otegui put this rehearsal practice backswing move into play because he liked the feeling of it in a practice round. He noticed his backswing getting too short. This helped him commit to the feeling of a full turn, in the final seconds it was time to swing.

Instead of waggles, Adrián Otaegui makes a full backswing while he’s over the ball. Then stops, resets, and swings.

“It’s new. It’s a feeling I had in practice rounds. I quite like the feeling, used it on the driving range, then introduced it into my routine.”

A good reminder, that it doesn’t matter how something looks if it helps your swing feels.

7. Trust the process

I find it increasingly weird how, whenever Rory McIlroy gets into major contention and doesn’t win, pundits immediately reach for some mental platitude. It’s always some variation of Rory not being able to handle the pressure, or wanting it too much, or not wanting it enough, or lacking the killer instinct.
But what, exactly, does that mean?
Rory isn’t standing over a golf ball, thinking about how much making this putt would mean to him. None of these guys are, and they shouldn’t be, either. They may feel nervous, but that’s natural and normal. Even when they feel the nerves, they’re not trying to do anything different. “Process” was the word Rory McIlroy kept returning to during his Hoylake victory in 2014. It’s the same process he’s focusing on in 2023.
The truth is, the whole ‘he can’t handle the heat’ mental stuff is just a thing that people say who don’t want to look at the real reasons, so they make up catchy ones instead.
As far as I can see it, in Rory’s case, he’s a very, very good player (obviously). The key reason McIlroy is so good is because of his golf swing. He’s not the biggest guy, but he can hit his ball enormous distances because of how dynamic his golf swing is. But that dynamism also leads to occasional streaky ball-striking patches, especially off the tee. That’s what we saw during the early part of this season. That’s why to some outsiders, Rory can run hot and cold from round to round. It’s worth the trade.
Other times, he’ll struggle with consistent contact on his putting — that’s what happened on Saturday. Every player has different tendencies which pop up from time to time. This is Rory’s.

Occasionally Rory also has a tendency, I think, to play too safe at certain times. Some variation of all of the above can explain most of McIlroy’s recent major near-misses.
The only way to win majors in the modern era is to fire on all cylinders. The fields are just too deep not to, as Brian Harman proved this week. Rory is one of the few exceptions: A player good enough to get himself into contention, even when he’s not firing on all cylinders. Just as Jack Nicklaus did, whose record doesn’t just include 18 major wins, but 19 other major top threes.
It’s not a bad thing, so save the mental game platitudes about Rory. Any minute now things will align, and Rory will get his major. Then many more after that.

The 17th hole was probably the last one Travis Smyth wanted to play when he stepped on to the tee of it Friday morning, 10-over par for the tournament.

The green is shaped like a turtle’s shell. It’s uphill, and the wind was gusting. An unlikely set of conditions for the little-known Asian Tour player who was previously best known for playing in the LIV Tour’s inaugural event, to send his ball directly into the hole. His name will go down as the first ace in the history of Royal Liverpool Golf Club’s newly redesigned 17th hole, which has sparked controversy for its difficultly all week.

Hole-in-one on 17!

The hole, playing just a hair shy of 140 yards, was just soft 9-iron for Smyth.

“I chipped it,” he said.

But the secret to the shot that let out the loudest roar of the day wasn’t in the club or ball, but the golf tee that propped it up.

With a high-lofted club into wind, teeing up your ball may seem like an unusual move. But Smyth says it’s an essential one that the rest of us can learn from.

Teeing up the ball does make the ball go slightly higher, but it also helps the ball come off with lower backspin. Less backspin makes the ball more immune to wind.

“The club has less interaction with the ground,” he says. “When you’re trying to hit a low one, you are coming in quite steep. It’s easier off a tee, so you’re not catching the ground instantly at impact, which will create spin, which into the wind you don’t want to do.”

So that’s been the tactic for pros all week, including Smyth: Tee the ball about half an inch off the ground, and swing soft. The softer swing keeps the ball lower and, in addition to the tee, sends the ball through the air with very little spin. The perfect shot for into wind.“

Some tee it quite high, higher than you think, when they want to hit low ones,” he says. “It’s all about that spin.”

A helpful piece of advice to remember in the gusts, though Smyth says he can’t guarantee the same results he enjoyed on Friday.

Playing on the International Series has brought the best out of Travis Smyth, following recent qualification for the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, and he is hoping his consistent form of late can continue at this week’s inaugural International Series Vietnam.

The Australian has enjoyed a blistering start to the 2023 season on the Asian Tour, recording three top-10 finishes at the PFI Saudi International, International Series Qatar and most recently at the World City Championship at Hong Kong Golf Club.

“If there was one word to describe the start of the season so far it would be fight, I feel like I fought really well,” the 28-year-old said.

His third-place finish at the World City Championship saw him secure one of the four spots available in The Open in July as the event had the honour of being part of The Open Qualifying Series, but speaking of his LIV Golf experience last year Smyth added: “It might be controversial, but I feel like I’ve played three majors already with the three LIV events that I have already played.”

Smyth played in those LIV Golf events by virtue of finishing second in the International Series England last year, which at the time was his best performance on the Asian Tour. But he bettered that by the only way possible later in the year by winning the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship, for his maiden Asian Tour victory.

He admits that he is now fuelling his confidence tournament-by-tournament.

“I’ve knocked off a number of top 10s on the Asian Tour now and I’ve had a win last year, so I am starting to get really comfortable at this level of competition.

“It has been really good for my confidence to play well in Saudi against all the LIV players and even at all The International Series events now we’re getting a handful of LIV players competing every time,” he said. “When you start to beat those guys, you do get a little chip of confidence.”

Bio Kim, Taichi Kho, Travis Smyth, and Michael Hendry secured their places in The Open at the World City Championship recently. Asian Tour.

The International Series Vietnam, which starts on Thursday, will be held at the Greg Norman-designed KN Golf Links, situated on the south-central coast in Cam Rahn, and is set to be the biggest and most lucrative golf tournament ever staged in Vietnam.

Smyth shared his excitement for the week ahead: “I can’t wait, I looked at the photos online and I’ve spoken to a couple of the guys who have played there, and they said it’s amazing, so I’m really looking forward to it.

“I’ve heard it’s really good, Vietnam has blown up in terms of resort golf and they’re definitely trying to push it.”

The Sydney native is enjoying the opportunities that the International Series provides, allowing him to develop as a player and play in different parts of the world where there are many similarities to his home city.

“It’s been amazing,” he said “I am loving that aspect, getting out to other parts of Asia and other parts of the world and learning and competing to play in all different types of conditions, it can only improve us as players if you look at it the right way.

“When you turn up to those countries and the harsh weather, these are climates and conditions that I am used to coming from Sydney because we kind of get all four seasons in a day almost.”

The $2 million Vietnam event is the fourth tournament on The International Series this season and the eighth stop on the Asian Tour.

The Australian is still one of the younger players on the tour at 27, and despite his maiden crown, the week belonged to another star half his age.

Smyth’s 19-under total meant he finished ahead of defending champion Lee Chieh-po at Linkou International Golf and Country Club.

Hsieh Cheng-wei. Asian Tour

But local youngster Hsieh Cheng-wei — who on Friday became the youngest male player to make the cut on one of golf’s main professional Tours, aged 14 years and 33 days — was the talk of the tournament, and despite fading over the weekend with rounds of 78 and 74, wrote his name in the history books and can be proud of his achievements.

He beat the previous record set by China’s Guan Tian-lang, set at the 2013 Masters, when he was 14 years and 169 days.

Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond had held the Asian Tour record having made it through to the weekend at the Asian Tour International in 2010, when he was 14 years and 71 days.

As some of the Asian Tour and LIV Golf’s big names prepare for the second of the back-to-back International Series in Korea, two contenders are getting the inside track from local hero Bio Kim.

The stars have arrived in Jeju ahead of this week’s International Series Korea and for Chase Koepka and Travis Smyth, the first thing on their to-do list was get the barbecue going with Bio Kim.

The Korean No. 1 took his American and Australian mates out to a restaurant near Lotte SkyHill Country Club, host course of the $1.5million prize-fund event, which starts on Thursday.

The trio tucked into a range of different meats, all under Kim’s expert guidance, falling in love with the kimchi-packed flavour of the South Korean foodie favourite.

“That was maybe the best thing I have ever eaten,” said Koepka, LIV Golf star and brother of four-time major-winner Brooks. “I could eat this every day this week. Let’s hope we can come back here for a celebratory meal on Sunday.”
