Cameron Smith opened up about watching the Ashes cricket series while playing this week at the Crown Australian Open. The LIV golfer is playing on his home soil this week in the DP World Tour event. He has been having a fantastic time on the greens and is now in contention to win the tournament.

After his marvelous third round, Smith was asked if he was watching the cricket tournaments this week. However, the Aussie said he tried to watch as much as his son Remy allows him to. He added that his son doesn’t like cricket and watches “Bluey” and other things.

Flushing It shared a video of the hilarious reponse from Cameron Smith about watching cricket on its X (formerly Twitter) account with a caption:

“Cam Smith was asked if he’s been able to watch much of the Ashes and Dad’s everywhere can relate to this answer!”

“It’s just nice to be in contention; it’s been a while since I’ve had this feeling so I’m looking forward to (Sunday). I love that it’s at Royal Melbourne for the Australian Open. I couldn’t think of a better place to be back in form.”

He also talked about his performance this year. He said:

“I just feel like it’s been a bit of a crappy year…..It would shut a few people up, but that’s not that that’s really the goal. The goal is to go out there and play well. The motivation for myself is to play well under these conditions.”
