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.
One of the first things Smith bought when became rich and famous was every bogan's dream - a 39-foot fishing boat, powered by four gigantic Mercury outboards.
It is docked outside his Florida home, on the canal, so he can go fishing in style whenever he wants.
Smith comes from humble and honest beginnings.
His mother Sharon spent most of her life working in the furniture department at the now-defunct Chandlers chain of stores, before entering semi-retirement as a grocery packer at Woolworths.
His sister Melanie works in administration for a power company.
His dad Des, a handy professional golfer in his own right, bawled his eyes out when his son claimed victory at St Andrews and promised that many XXXX stubbies would be in danger later that day.
Smith wanted to emulate his father from a young age, so Des cut down a set of clubs and strapped some PVC tubes to the side of his cart so his son could join him.
