Rory McIlroy has posted a two-under 69 to finish the week at seven-under. Once again he drew the biggest galleries on course, but the early bogeys today and the nine-shot lead left him too far back to make a real dent.

The home crowd roared for Cameron Smith to finish off a dream Australian Open win. Instead an all-time reversal left them in shock. The post Stunning finish at Australian Open: Cam Smith’s short miss flips script appeared first on Golf.

The major champion could not convert from inside five feet on the final hole at Royal Melbourne, handing the title to Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen

Dec 7 (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy, the world's second-ranked golfer, has called on organisers of the Australian Open to reschedule the event in an effort to attract a stronger international field to the tournament in the future.

On Sunday, December 7, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen claimed the Crown Australian Open 2025, beating Cameron Smith by one stroke.

He will turn 46 during the week of the British Open next July at Royal Birkdale, and he will be playing in the championship for the 26th consecutive time. Adam Scott continues to play high-level golf year after year after year.

Danish golfer Rasmus Neergaard-Peterson has claimed the Australian Open, winning by just one shot over home favourite Cam Smith.

World No. 82 Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen (-14) recorded birdies on 16, 17 and 18 on Saturday to regain ascendancy and forge a two-shot lead at Royal Melbourne heading into the final day. The PGA Tour-bound Dane will feel the pressure though as there is a dangerous chasing group on his tail, including Smith and Si Woo Kim who are -12.
