‘Letting Us Down’: LIV Defector Cameron Smith Disappoints Home Crowd After Rejecting a Famous Australian Tradition

LIV Golf recently headed to Australia for this week’s event! And as the players get ready to compete at the Grange Club in Adelaide, all the fans’ eyes turn to one person: Cameron Smith. The Aussie native has been the talk of the town of late, considering he’s back on his home turf and still looking for a win this season. But amid all the hype for him, just hours ago, he disappointed the fans with his actions. How? Well, he rejected a famous Australian party tradition!

Cameron Smith brushes away an Aussie custom

LIV’s Adelaide event promises big things to the fans. From constructing a ‘Party Hole’ at the 12th hole of the course to tickets being sold out weeks before the tournament, expectations are certainly high! For Cam Smith, they’re even higher, considering the majority of the fans there are rooting for him. And perhaps that’s why his rejection of a ‘shoey’ hit a soft spot!

Earlier this year, at LIV’s inaugural event, Smith performed a shoey, which is basically pouring a beer in your shoe and then drinking it! Shoeies are a very common and almost traditional party move in Australia. And so, when the 2022 Open Championship winner walked on the greens of the 12th hole ahead of the event on Thursday, the home fans wanted to see him do it.

While Smith walked across the 12th hole, the famous Australian music producer Fisher ran up to him with a shoe in one hand and a beer in the other. As the crowd cheered him on, he asked the golf pro to do a shoey, but he was in no mood having hit a terrible shot there just minutes before. He laughed, brushed him aside, and kept walking. Fisher, of course, chugged the beer down himself. But unfortunately, the fans didn’t take the golfer’s refusal well.

Golf fans were left infuriated by Smith’s rejection

Smith’s brushoff of the famous Aussie and the even more famous Aussie tradition didn’t sit well with the fans. Taking to Instagram, where Fisher had posted his rejection video, captioned, “Can’t win them all,” they expressed their disappointment. “Bloody cam smith letting us down,” wrote one fan. Another stated. “Cam needed to handle that.” Yet another fan wrote, “Cams too cool for you.”

Many fans also suggested that Smith definitely considered the drink but avoided it because he was out on the course. “CAM SMITH 100% wanted to drink with the 🐟,” commented one. Another wrote, “He thought about it hahaha.” Regardless, fans were impressed with the one-time major winner’s refusal!
