Leishman, who hasn’t won’t anywhere since his last PGA Tour in 2020, held his nerve making a crucial three metre final putt for par as 2017 Masters champ Sergio Garcia playing behind him, put his approach to the 18th in the water at the Trump National Doral Golf Course. The errant shot from Garcia, which resulted in a bogey, handed Leishman, who also recovered from an errant final tee shot, a one-shot win, his first since joining the Saudi-backed tour with Smith who, with fellow Aussies Lucas Herbert and Matt Jones, won for the fourth time as a team. Another former Masters winner, Charl Schwartzel, finished second, and Leishman, who hasn’t played at Augusta since his move to LIV, said it took his best to win. “It was an unbelievable leaderboard, I saw all the guys right behind me and I knew the holes I had to finish off on,” he said after a bogey-free, final round of 68. “I played some of the best golf I have ever played today, especially coming off Singapore a couple of weeks ago when I beat, I think, three people. “Confidence wasn’t overly high but I knew things were looking pretty good. I was playing good golf and I showed that today. “To win out here, you are paying against tough fields every week, it’s a lot to sink in.” Leishman’s win comes a week after fellow Aussie Min Woo Lee’s breakthrough PGA Tour victory at the Houston Open. Lee is also headed to the Masters, but Leishman is not. Smith, the only member of the Ripper GC quartet headed to Augusta this week, courtesy of the exemption he received for winning the 2022 British Open, finished tied for ninth in the individual standings. Herbert was tied for 18th, Jones tied for 21st, which was good enough for a comfortable eight-shot win team win. Leishman became the 22nd different individual winner of a LIV event with the Doral event proving among the toughest. Only six players finished under par.
