Smith carded a two-under 70 in the final round at LIV Golf Riyadh to finish tied for 25th.
ANALYSISSmith got off to a good start with a five-under 67 in the first round, but he wasn't able to keep up with the likes of
Jon Rahm,
Adrian Meronk or Ripper GC teammates
Lucas Herbert and
Marc Leishman. Much of Smith's struggles came in his accuracy game, as he finished T46 in GIR (70.37 percent) and T51 in driving accuracy (40.48 percent). The Ripper GC captain will look to bounce back on home soil at LIV Golf Adelaide this weekend.
