PGA TOUR

Marc Leishman earned his first TOUR victory since 2012 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. Less than a year after Palmer's death, the event focused on his legacy and passion for the game and his community. Leishman, who competed in the 2001 Junior World Championships, finished in Palmer fashion, charging up the leaderboard with a 51-foot eagle on the par-5 No. 16 to give him his second TOUR title at 11-under-par 277. Kevin Kisner and Charley Hoffman finished one shot back at 10-under-par 278. The alumni combined for 26 AJGA events during their careers. 

Congratulations to Marc Leishman.
