Marc Leishman made a strong start at LIV Golf Virginia, carding a 6-under 66 at Trump National DC to sit near the top of the leaderboard after Round 1.
Playing not far from his Virginia home, the Ripper GC player spoke about the comfort of having familiar faces in the crowd, the benefit of driving to a tournament, and why this firm, demanding golf course suits both his game and the Australian style of golf.
Leishman also discussed Ripper GC’s strong start to the season, the team’s chemistry, Elvis Smylie’s impact, and why tough, long golf courses can bring out the best in him thanks to his iron play, discipline and short-game touch.
