It was barnstorming Patrick Reed’s day at Augusta National, but Australia’s Marc Leishman had his moments as well and the big man from Warrnambool is in contention again for his first Major championship.
Picture this Australian Open field next year: Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler, among a host of other international stars inside the world’s Top-50 rankings.
Woods’ Thursday-Friday playing partners haven’t played well in his last two starts. Brandt Snedeker and Patton Kizzire both missed the cut at the Honda Classic and Jordan Spieth and Henrik Stenson also failed to make the weekend at last week’s Valspar Championship.
