Cameron Smith held off challenges from Jason Scrivener and Ryo Hisatsune to claim a third Australian PGA Championship title by three shots at Royal Queensland on Sunday.

British Open champion Smith’s 14-under par total, courtesy of a three-under-par final round, secured him victory at the weather-affected A$2 million ($1.35 million) event co-sanctioned by Europe’s DP World Tour.
