slump in major tournaments and is now working with Claude Harmon III ahead of the PGA Championship. Cameron Smith has revealed that ending his long-standing partnership with coach Grant Field was one of the most difficult decisions of his career. Field had coached Smith since he was a nine-year-old junior golfer in Brisbane and remained a close personal friend. The decision came after Smith’s disappointing performance at The Masters Tournament, where he missed the cut for the second consecutive year amid an ongoing slump that has seen him fail to make the weekend in his last six major appearances. The former world number two and The Open Championship winner is now working with coach Claude Harmon III at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square as he prepares for the PGA Championship. Smith said he believes the coaching change is necessary to restore his confidence and return to his previous level, insisting that his competitive drive remains as strong as ever.
