BBC Sport at St AndrewsRory McIlroy walks up to the gantry to conduct his post-round interviews, must be hard to try and articulate your feelings after that - Cam Smith just hit the back nine like he was playing Tiger Woods on the PlayStation.

Difficult to say Rory McIlroy lost that. Cameron Smith won it.
McIlroy plotted his way round precisely, sinking two birdies and not carding a birdie.
That was the gameplan.
Birdie putts didn't drop for him. They did for Smith.

Taking a record off the GOAT.
That's how well Cam Smith played this week.

BBC Sport at St AndrewsFans are in the burn, some are trying to jump it - some failing - the fairway is flooded with people and a shout has gone out for a medic. They think someone’s done their knee… golf spectating isn’t designed to be an extreme sport.
There are still cheers of “Rory!” as an Australian flag flies. It feels like the end of a festival, for Cam Smith it will feel like a dream.

What time is it in Brisbane? Doesn't matter. The folks back home will pick up the phone.
Cameron Smith is on the blower, telling them what's just happened.
Oh, they know. And they will be prouder than punch at what he has achieved.
What a performance. What a champion.

Cameron Smith matches Henrik Stenson's Open Championship record for the lowest score in relation to par.
Incredible golf from the Australian.

The overnight co-leader looks absolutely drained. Emotionally and physically.
Eight years and counting since he won his last major at the 2014 PGA Championship.

BBC golf correspondent on Radio 5 LiveHave you ever heard such a noise in anticipation of a shot.
It's skipped by and it is all over for Rory.
He has given it an almighty go but he was blown away by Aussie brilliance.

Is that a can of lager in Cameron Smith's hand? Probably not but hope it is.
"How does it feel to be Champion Golfer of the Year," he's asked.
Pretty good.

It was only a short putt, but after a sensational first effort, this is the moment Cam Smith made it to 20 under and a score that would give him the Claret Jug.

McIlroy must hole this. No if, no buts.
"In the hole!" shouts St Andrews collectively.
No chance.

Viktor Hovland, who co-led at the start, sees his chip fade away like his challenge.

Chewing his lip is a tell-tale sign that McIlroy thinks the game is up.
He's boshed his drive far once again, but needs to knock in from just in front of the Valley of Sin.
Meanwhile, we see the Claret Jug engraver for the time. Another surefire sign that we have a winner all but crowned.
Then the rope behind McIlroy goes up and scores of fans run down the fairway.

John Murray
Commentator on BBC Radio 5 LiveCam Smith goes to 20 under par and leads by one shot from his playing partner, and two from Rory McIlroy.
It looks as though he will emerge victorious - unless McIlroy can produce the absolute spectacular.
