PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Marc Leishman played himself into early contention with a 3-under-par 69 Thursday at The Players Championship, but the highlight of his day came after he finished.
Leishman looked up to see his wife, Audrey, standing on a hill behind the 18th green at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course.
Just a month ago, Audrey was on a ventilator fighting a series of dangerous infections that nearly killed her.
“I didn't actually see her until I finished out there, but quite a nice surprise when I looked up,” Leishman said.
