Overview
- Cameron Smith failed to make the Masters weekend at seven over par after rounds of 74 and 77, finishing three shots outside the cut line.
- The early exit marked his sixth consecutive missed cut at the majors, continuing a run that spans the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
- His two rounds at Augusta showed ball‑striking trouble as he hit 15 of 36 greens in regulation and recorded 10 bogeys, a double bogey, and five birdies.
- Jason Day defended Smith’s talent, praising his short game and putting and urging him to focus on small positives to ride out the slump.
- The slide has increased questions about whether LIV Golf readies players for majors, with Smith still seeking a first win since 2023.
