Marc Leishman hoists the trophy after winning the CIMB Classic

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - 34 year-old Aussie Marc Leishman notched his

fourth career PGA Tour victory at the CIMB Classic, becoming the first

non-American to win the event in its eighth edition.

Leishman's final round 65 was fueled by a quick start, with four straight

birdies from holes 2 thru 5. He also birdied holes 9 & 10 before dropping

a shot at the thirteenth. Leishman left little doubt eliminating all would be

challengers by birdieing holes 16 and 18 to finish at 26 under par for a

five stroke victory over Emiliano Grillo, Chesson Hadley and Bronson

Burgoon. His 262 total tied the tournament scoring record set by Justin

Thomas' in 2015. Thomas who was vying for a third straight victory in

Malaysia, fired a final round 64 to finish in a tie for fifth.

It was a phenomenal performance by Leishman who had just 4 bogeys to

go with 28 birdies and an eagle in his rounds of 68-62-67-65. "This is

awesome. I knew that even though I got off to a good start today, I still

needed to grind because there's some tough holes out there," Leishman said.

"Managed to hit some good shots and this is the result. It's great to get back

in the winners circle and excited to be back in Malaysia leaving with this."

Kevin Tway celebrates in Napa after winning the Safeway Open

Napa, California - Thirty-year-old Kevin Tway walked out from behind

the shadow of his father Sunday at Silverado. Bob Tway watched from

home in Oklahoma as his son outlasted Ryan Moore and Brandt Snedeker

in overtime, winning after his third straight birdie in a playoff to capture

victory for the first time on the PGA Tour.

Being the son of 8 time PGA Tour winner Bob Tway had it's challenges,

but when Kevin finally beat his Dad at age 16, it was a hurdle that had

great significance. "I remember it because leading up to that, when we

were pretty close, he'd look over and be like "You know I'm going to birdie

the last two holes to beat you," said Kevin. "And he would, every single

time. I'd go home pissed, crying, going, 'Mom, Dad did it again.' "

Snedeker looked to be in control, but finished regulation bogey-par to

Tway (playing in the same group) who made up the 3 stroke deficit

going birdie-birdie to finish tied at 14 under par after a final round 71.

Ryan Moore fired a final round 67 to also make the playoff, birdied the

first two holes in sudden death, but could not match Tway's run (which

reached five in a row - 17 & 18 in regulation, followed by 3 straight in

the playoff). Snedeker shot 74 in regulation and then made par on the

first hole of sudden death to be eliminated.

After being in contention thru two rounds, Phil Mickelson faded to a tie

for 17th after rounds of 74-72 on the weekend to finish at 8 under par.
