ATLANTA — Cameron Smith knows his work is cut out for him this week at the Tour Championship. If he wants to win the tournament—and by extension the FedEx Cup title—he will have to overcome a six-shot deficit to current points leader Scottie Scheffler. The 29-year-old Australian also has a niggling hip injury he’s dealing with that forced him to withdrawal from last week’s BMW Championship.
Smith spent last week at his home in Florida rehabbing his hip, an injury his trainer Nic Catterall confirmed as an inflamed sciatic nerve that Smith has managed for several years.
