Cameron Smith tied his career-best score to par through the first 36 holes of an event on TOUR at the WGC-Workday Championship but a Saturday 77 that was derailed by two balls in the water and a triple bogey at the par-4 fifth set him back ahead of the final round.

MIAMI (AFP) – Collin Morikawa fired a three-under-par 69 to clinch a three-shot victory at the World Golf Championships (WGC)-Workday Championship in Florida on Sunday.
The 24-year-old PGA Championship winner – who led by two after last Saturday’s third round – relied on accurate iron play and nerveless putting to close out victory at the Concession Golf Club in Bradenton.
Morikawa’s final round saw him finish on 18 under with a 72-hole aggregate 270, three shots clear of Viktor Hovland, Brooks Koepka and Billy Horschel on 15 under.
After an early stumble when he bogeyed the par-four second, Morikawa recovered his composure to play flawlessly thereafter.
