Sometimes you have to wait to get paid.

Cameron Smith charged his way into history on the Old Course, a Sunday stunner at St. Andrews that sent the Aussie to his first major title by overcoming Rory McIlroy to win the Open Championship. Cam Smith stole the show by running off five straight birdies to start the back nine and delivering more clutch moments at the end.
