Cameron Smith has led a fierce opening-day Australian charge at LIV Golf Mexico City.
The 31-year-old Queenslander fired a seven-under 64, as did Spain's Jon Rahm, to trail another major winner and LIV captain in Bryson DeChambeau by one shot on Friday (Saturday AEST).
Smith, who like DeChambeau is seeking his first LIV Golf win since 2023, started with three consecutive birdies and had six in his first eight holes en route to his lowest round of the season.
