BEDMINSTER, N.J. (AP) \u2014 Phil Mickelson’s bid for his first LIV Golf title ended early and spectacularly. Cam Smith rarely made winning look so easy Sunday at LIV Golf-Bedminster.<\/p>\n

Mickelson, playing in the final group for the first time since joining the Saudi-funded circuit last year, hit two tee shots in the water and made a quintuple-bogey 8 on the par-3 seventh hole at Trump National, effectively ended his hopes.<\/p>\n

Smith, who had two early bogeys that dropped his lead to three shots over Mickelson at the time, closed with five birdies and a clean card for a 3-under 68 and seven-shot victory.<\/p>\n

Smith won for the second time in three LIV Golf events and took over the season points race in his attempt to claim the $18 million bonus at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

He finished at 12-under 201.<\/p>\n

Anirban Lahiri closed with a 70 to finish alone in second. Abraham Ancer (69), Patrick Reed (71) and Dean Burmester (72) tied for third.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the goal since the start of the year, to be up with a shot at it,\u201d Smith said of the season points race. \u201cGot a couple of weeks left.\u201d<\/p>\n

LIV Golf is now off for the next five weeks until returning outside Chicago.<\/p>\n

Mickelson ended an attention-filled week with a 75. He tied for ninth, his first top 10 of the year. The day before the tournament began, an excerpt from gambler Billy Walters’ book was released that claimed Mickelson placed over $1 billion in bets<\/a> over the last 30 years and asked Walters to bet $400,000 on the U.S. team to win the 2012 Ryder Cup that Mickelson played in.<\/p>\n

Mickelson said he never placed a bet on the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

Smith earned $4 million for the win, raising his total to just over $13.6 million for the year. He said he would put the clubs away for the first few weeks of his break.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy clubs deserve a rest,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n

His Ripper team won the team competition by 11 shots.<\/p>\n
