Jordan Smith Player Profile And What's In The Bag

AFTER a hiatus of five years, Jordan Smith finally won his second DP World Tour title, securing the Portugal Masters at Dom Pedro Victoria. And he did so in the most spectacular fashion, shooting a final round of 63 for a mind-boggling 72-hole total of 254 - an astonishing 30 under par.

The 29-year-old Englishman has enjoyed a superb season, with a host of top-10 finishes, and has been in superb form recently. He could have won the Andalucia Masters but struggled in the final round.

But this time he made no mistake after going into the final round with a two-shot lead. His nearest challenger was Malaysia’s Gavin Green, who fired a 64 of his own but still finished three adrift of Smith.

Smith said: "I'm just really happy with how I've done this year. There was a lot of pressure that I put on myself and that people had put on me as well. It's just nice to finally get that second win."
