Marc Leishman posted a bogey-free, 4-under-par 34-32=66 in his opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
The Aussie continues to shine. He converted on only three of 14 birdie opportunities today, and all three were of some length. He concluded his first nine with a conversion from 32'2" at the 18th hole. After making the turn, he promptly poured in another at 1, this time from 11'7". His third disappeared from 21'10" at the fifth. For good measure, literally, Leishman added a zero-putt birdie from six yards just off the green at seven. He signedf his card sitting one stroke adrift of the clubhouse tri-leaders. May 23 - 1:44 PM

Marc Leishman turned in a 4-under-par 32-34=66 for his opening round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

He entered the week as one of the hottest golfers in the world, and he remains on that list tonight. The Aussie hit 16 greens in regulation at TPC Four Seasons today and erased a lone bogey with five birdies, four of which disappearing from outside 10 feet. The gem was a 22'1" conversion at the 14th hole. He also poured in a par save from 10'11" at 5. At the time he signed his card, he was low man of the afternoon wave and sat six strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Marc Leishman signed for an even-par 36-36=72 in the final round of THE PLAYERS, picking up a top 10 at 7-under 281.

Leishman continues his run of solid form that saw him tie for fourth at the Masters and share ninth at the RBC Heritage. It looked like he would be a factor at TPC Sawgrass in the finale, circling birdies on three of his first four holes. It would quickly fall apart with a double bogey on the par-4 fifth when his drive didn't find dry land. He then bogeyed the sixth. His only other action was a birdie at 11 and a bogey at the 18th. He now heads to Texas for the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

Marc Leishman turned in a 1-under-par 33-38=71 in the third round of THE PLAYERS and is positioned for his third top 10 in his last three starts of the season.

The Aussie was paired with Adam Scott in the final round of the Masters, tying for fourth. Leishman then tied for ninth the next week at the RBC Heritage. He started his third round at TPC Sawgrass on fire, finding birdies on three of his first four holes. It was all pars from then until he added his fourth, and final, birdie at the par-5 11th. He immediately dropped shots with bogeys on 12 and 13, before adding a third bogey at the 18th. He enters the finale at 7-under 209.

Marc Leishman lapped TPC Sawgrass in 6-under-par 33-33=66 in his second round of THE PLAYERS.

The Aussie split 13 (of 14) fairways and hit 13 greens in regulation today, but it's what he did with his opportunities that deserve attention. Leishman converted six birdies, the longest of which just 11'3" at the par-5 second hole, to offset two bogeys. Then, standing in the fairway 172 yards out at the par-4 18th hole, he jarred his approach for eagle, just the fourth at the hole in tournament history. He reached the midpoint in 6-under 138, five off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Marc Leishman signed for a 1-over-par 33-39=72 in the final round of the RBC Heritage to finish the week at 3-under 281.

A week after contending at the Masters, Leishman again was a part of the story on a Sunday afternoon. With five birdies to just one bogey on his first 10 holes, he put some early pressure on the leaders. He wasn't able to keep up the pace, giving back bogeys at 11, 12, 14 and 16 with a double bogey sprinkled in on the par-5 15th. He will take a break rather than travel to TPC Louisiana for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Marc Leishman backed up his opening 67 at the RBC Heritage with an even-par 36-35=71 to reach the midpoint in 4-under 138, two strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse co-leaders.

Leishman hit 12 greens in regulation in challenging conditions at Harbour Town today, but settled for two birdies against two bogeys. His only notable conversion protected his scorecard as it was a par save from 23'7" at the par-4 11th hole. It's been a gritty effort by the Aussie given a potential letdown after last week's Masters.

Marc Leishman crafted a 4-under-par, 34-33=67 in his opening round of the RBC Heritage, good for a share of the clubhouse lead.

The Aussie set up for a Masters hangover given he had never contended in a major until last week. Today's effort at Harbour Town speaks to his mettle as he went 8-for-8 in scrambling, the longest save measuring 12'6" at the 10th hole, his first of the round. Leishman also buried birdies from the fringe, five yards out at the 13th hole, and respective conventional rolls of 22'11" and 15'8" at Nos. 1 and 8.

Marc Leishman carded an even-par 36-36=72 to finish in a tie for fourth with Tiger Woods in his second Masters at 5-under 283.

The Aussie was one of three with a legitimate shot of earning the countries first green jacket, but it wasn't meant to be. He circled Augusta National with two birdies and two bogeys, never mounting a serious charge. To say he will be carrying plenty of momentum into the Harbour Town for this week's RBC Heritage is a serious understatement.

Marc Leishman turned in an even-par 35-37=72 in the third round of the Masters to remain at 5-under 211 ahead of the final round.

The Aussie put together quite the colorful scorecard in his navigation of Augusta National, circling five birdies and suffering five bogeys with eight pars mixed in. It's been an impressive performance that he's been able to hang around the lead in just his second Masters appearance for as long as he has. A co-leader with Sergio Garcia after the first round, Leishman is very much in the picture entering Sunday.

Overnight co-leader Marc Leishman backed up his opening 66 at the Masters with a 1-over-par 36-37=73, reaching the midpoint in 5-under 139, good for a share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

The Aussie fared nicely today given he hit only 10 greens in regulation and racked up 29 putts. He squared bogeys at holes 4, 6 and 14 but snuck in birdies at the par-4 seventh and par-5 eighth holes. While he qualified for this tournament by winning the Travelers Championship last year, his lone victory on the Web.com Tour was at the 2008 WNB Golf Classic. (Coincidentally, the 2013 edition of the WNB is being contested this week as well.) In winds that gusted 20-35 mph all week in Midland, Tex. back in 2008, the Aussie dusted the field by 11 strokes. He's also played well in challenging breezes on the PGA TOUR. This is to say that if the winds freshen at Augusta National this weekend, don't automatically dismiss him despite his inexperience in the tournament (six rounds).

Marc Leishman grabbed outright possession of the clubhouse lead at the Masters with a 6-under-par 35-31=66.

Leishman missed the cut in his only previous appearance at Augusta National in 2010. He opened with a bogey-5 at the first hole, and then played the remainder in bogey-free 7-under with seven birdies. After circling birdies at holes 3, 8 and 10, he strung four in a row beginning at the par-5 13th. The run ended with a long-range gem at the difficult par-3 16th where today's hole is on the shelf on the right. Overall, he landed 13 greens in regulation and took a tidy 25 putts. This is the 77th edition of the season's first major but Australia has yet to record a victory.

Marc Leishman is set for his fourth Arnold Palmer Invitational, having never missed a cut at Bay Hill.

The Aussie's highlight in this event came in 2011, tying for third. It might be a stretch to say he's trending, but he's improved from back-to-back missed cuts to a T61-T58-T38 run over his last five events. After last week's moderate success in Tampa Bay, keep an eye on him as a dark horse.

Marc Leishman will step on the first tee at the Northern Trust Open with two top 20s already on the resume.

This will be the Aussie's fourth trip to Riviera CC, with a missed cut sandwiched between top-20 finishes. His start to 2013 has mirrored his record in this event. While he's missed two cuts, he also owns two top 25s. That would all add up to a top 25 or bust this week.

Marc Leishman turned in a bogey-free 3-under-par 33-34=67 in the final round of the Sony Open to wrap up a top 10 early in his 2013 season.

The Aussie finished the week at 14-under 266. He loved the back nine at Waialae, playing it without a blemish and racking up 13 birdies. Actually, his run of dominance started on the eighth hole, as he was 18-under on the closing 11 holes. Having played the last two weeks in Hawaii, he elected to sit out the Humana Challenge.
