Cameron Smith has fallen ruefully short of his third win of the year in one of the most extraordinary tournament finishes that golf aficionados could remember.
Smith looked unusually content to settle for second to New Zealander Ben Campbell at the Hong Kong Open after Thai Phachara Khongwatmai's brazen conduct late in the final round.
Holding a one-shot lead over Smith with three holes to play, Khongwatmai cut his drive on the par-4 16th into the local flora at Asian Tour's Hong Kong Golf Club.
