The 29-year-old had mixed emotions after securing victory (via CBS Golf):
"I'm thrilled about the individual win, but it would have been nice to get up there with the boys. I hit a good putt, too. It's a bit of mixed emotions, I think, at the moment."
Smith added:
"We [Ripper GC] showed some form early last week, and we're showing form again here. It's good to see Leishman play really good golf. He played incredible this weekend. I got to play with him the last two days, and he might not be too far behind me."
