AUGUSTA, Ga. – At Augusta National you’re only as good as the lessons you’ve learned, and Marc Leishman has learned plenty of lessons at the year’s first major.
The Australian was in a familiar position Friday when he completed his round at the Masters, tied for second place and just two shots off the early lead held by Justin Rose. It was the same position he was in through two rounds in 2013 and again in 2018. When he was asked what he learned from those trips into contention he was quick with an answer.
“I learned that the course can change overnight either way, from hard to soft, soft to hard,” said Leishman, whose second-round 67 left him at 5 under par.
