You can take the boy out of Brisbane, but you can't take Brisbane out of the boy.

While Aussie Cam Smith is the toast of the golfing world today after his enormous composure under fire to claim the British Open, he will always have a bogan streak that sets him apart from everyone who won the Claret Jug before him.

In fact, his caddie Sam Pinfold said that Smith drew on the famous Queensland Maroons fighting culture in State of Origin to hold off Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland to win the sport's oldest and most prestigious title.


'That's the Queenslander in him; I think he drew a lot from that,' Pinfold told .

'He's never really (labelled) as a favourite or as one of the big dogs. But he loves a fight. Put him three or four shots back, and he's going to step up his game and go for it.'

That feisty streak was ingrained in him long before he celebrated victory at the prim and proper St Andrews, which declares itself to the 'Home of Golf'.

A quick scroll down Smith's Instagram profile reveals plenty of images of beer, McDonald's feeds, top catches on fishing boats, and golf's newest superstar ripping up Aussie V8 Supercars tracks on a simulator.
