Leishman ends wait for first PGA title

25 June 2012 /REUTERS

Australian Marc Leishman faced a long and nervous wait but ultimately his sizzling final round eight-under-par 62 proved enough to give him his maiden PGA Tour title at the Travelers Championship.

Leishman finished the tournament at 14-under 266, a stroke in front of 2010 Travelers winner Bubba Watson and Charley Hoffman, who was left ruing a double-bogey, bogey finish that dropped him from 16-under. “It’s an incredible feeling, I didn’t think I would be in this position when I started this morning,” Leishman said on Sunday.
