At LIV and loving it, Leishman returns to the majors and gets in the mix at the US Open
June 14, 2025
Marc Leishman’s bunker shot splashed out of the sand, took four quick bounces and rolled straight into the hole for birdie on the long, par-3 eighth hole at Oakmont. Suddenly, a name that was once no stranger to leaderboards at majors was up there once again. Not bad for a player who had every reason to wonder if he’d ever get another chance to play in one, let alone contend. The 41-year-old Australian, now on the LIV tour, shot 2-under 68 at the U.S. Open on Saturday. He’ll start the final round tied for 11th, eight shots off the lead.
