Australasian results from around the world: Week of 23 – 30th July, 2019
Australasian results from around the world: Week of 23 – 30th July, 2019
We’ve been blessed this year to have a host of great results to fall back on around the world when things have become a tad tough on the PGA Tour.
But this week, just when we needed a lift, Marc Leishman was up for the challenge.
Leishman returned to his best in the WGC event in Memphis, taking third alone and earning #AussieOfTheWeek honours.
Special note, also, should go to his fellow Victorian, Dave McKenzie, who battled some awful conditions and a legend of the sport to finish T5 at the Senior British Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
And South Australian Steph Na continues to fight hard, this week winding up ninth on the Symetra Tour as it approaches the pointy end of the season.
