Winner: Marc Leishman
Around the wider world of golf: Anna Nordqvist held off all challengers to win the Bank of Hope Founders Cup on the LPGA; Hae Rym Kim won the SGF67 World Ladies Championship on the LET/CLPGA/KLPGA; Tom Lehman charged from behind to win the Tucson Conquistadores Classic on the Champions Tour; and bad weather shortened the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica's Guatemala Stella Artois Open to an unofficial 18-hole event, so the purse was split equally among all the participants and no winner was named.
As Sam Saunders chatted with Mike Tirico early throughout Sunday's insurance of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the coverage momentarily switched to Marc Leishman setting out. Sam noticed it and stated that he idea human beings need to watch Leishman very closely because, as he placed it, Australians do very well around Bay Hill.
He couldn't were greater accurate. Leishman's putter were given warm and, deftly wielding a few immediately drives and clever short recreation photographs, he evenly cruised beyond leaders Kevin Kisner, Charley Hoffman and Rory McIlroy to publish the prevailing score... And wait.
It became a noisy wait. Apparently younger Harvey Leishman desired a trophy to maintain up along with his pal Dash Day, and you can pay attention the questions as quickly as Marc completed: "Did you win a trophy, Daddy? Did you? Can we get it now? Can we?"
Young Harvey did ultimately get his desire, as you could see within the picture above. It changed into Marc's 2nd PGA Tour win but the first his family was able to witness firsthand. It turned into particularly satisfying because it were given Marc an invite to the Masters -- some thing he had to turn down more than one years ago whilst his wife Audrey nearly died from poisonous shock syndrome. Do you consider that? She become contact-and-go for around a 12 months after that.
As you could see from the picture above, Audrey is doing plenty higher nowadays. She and Marc are anticipating a daughter in three or four months. But Marc does not need to wait for his modern-day Limerick Summary. Yes, Sam, this Australian did VERY nicely at Bay Hill!
Sam called it: Australians do well
At Bay Hill. Good putting will tell
The story on slick veggies?
And it gave Marc the approach
To emerge from the pack and prevail. The photo came from the event news page at PGATOUR.com.
