American Brendan Steele took the individual honours ahead of Louis Oosthuizen at LIV Golf Adelaide on Sunday as Cameron Smith sent local fans into a frenzy by leading the Australian Ripper quartet to the team title in a play-off.

Overnight leader after a sizzling eight-under 64 in Saturday's second round, Steele kept his nerve to back up with a final-round 68 and win the US$20 (S$27 million) event by a stroke on 18-under.
