Cameron Smith is vowing to hang tough after leaving himself needing to pull off a Tiger Woods-like feat to win the Masters.
Smith was "absolutely" chuffed to have ground out a fighting first-round one-under-par 71 after almost a week battling an untimely and sapping bout of food poisoning.
The 2022 British Open champion recovered from a watery double-bogey five on the 12th hole to be among just a third of the field in red numbers.
