***  Speaking of Cam Smith, I am not impressed with his “no comments” and general indignation over reporters’ questions around his intention to jump ship to LIV Golf. The rumors are that he has already signed with the Saudi “sportswashing” tour, so rather than evade the questions it would be much better for “The Champion Golfer of the Year” to come clean, be honest, and spill the beans, whatever they may be.
