US Open fans make their feelings clear on Cam Smith’s alcohol-inspired shirt

US Open fans make their feelings clear on Cam Smith’s alcohol-inspired shirt

Sporting an unruly mullet, LIV Golf star Cameron Smith is one of golf’s most dynamic characters and the Australian donned an attention-grabbing polo shirt for the third round of the US Open.

Cameron Smith’s jersey caught the attention of fans during the third round of the US Open

Fans around Pinehurst No. 2 went wild over Cameron Smith’s flashy “alcohol periodic table” shirt at the U.S. Open on Saturday.

The Australian played solid golf, navigating the tricky course to post scores of 71 and 72 to qualify quite comfortably three-over-eight shots behind leader Ludvig Aberg. However, it was his third-round outfit that caught the eye to kick off the weekend.




Smith took to the tee in his white Ripper GC hat to represent his LIV Golf team, but the “Periodic Table of Alcoholic Beverages” polo shirt was the highlight. Fans frantically let him know that the decision to don the jersey was a wise choice, shouting their support for the 30-year-old while many had a beer in hand.

The polo shirt is produced by Original Penguin, a golf clothing brand known for dressing its players in bright colors and funky prints. The white top featured a periodic table showcasing different types of alcohol, from beer and gin to vodka and more, that fans at home and in North Carolina thought would be perfect for the Open winner Championship 2022.

Smith, who captained Ripper GC to back-to-back team victories at LIV Golf Adelaide and LIV Golf Singapore earlier this season, is known to celebrate victories by drinking a beer out of a shoe. It is not known whether the movement was immortalized on his shirt.

Heading into the US Open, many fans saw Smith as an intriguing cry to win the tournament, given that the Donald Ross-designed course suited his game. The course also resembles the ones he grew up on in playing in the Australian sand belt.
