Driver: Callaway Rogue (9°) with Fujikura Speeder 757 Evolution shaft

Highlights from Leishman’s win at the CIMB Classic:
There’s nothing better than a good, long read. Except maybe a good short read. With that, we give you our crib-note summary of today’s final round of the CIMB Classic.
Winner: Marc Leishman, by five (!) over Emiliano Grillo, Chesson Hadley and Bronson Burgoon.
Why it matters: Wins are wins. Leishman nabbed his first win of the 2018 calendar year. It will push him back into the top 20 of the world ranking.
How it played out: Leishman began the day in a three-way tie for first with Gary Woodland and Shubhankar Sharma….and he was the only one making birdies. Big Leish made birdie on four straight holes (nos. 2-5) to run out ahead of the others. Leish made just one bogey on the day (at 14), and cruised to a 5-shot victory. He added a birdie from 12 feet to cap it off on 18. Oh, and 26 under tied the tournament record.
What a way to close out the week. ?@MarcLeish is the 2018 @CIMBClassic champion. ?#LiveUnderPar pic.twitter.com/DIaiV4Log2
