HONOLULU – Two years ago when Marc Leishman withdrew from the Masters to be with his wife, Audrey, because of a “life-threatening medical emergency” he didn’t know what the future held.
Audrey Leishman was diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome and toxic shock syndrome that put her in a coma, and doctors gave her a slim chance to survive.
Nearly 24 months removed from that harrowing experience, the Leishmans were celebrating a series of accomplishments as the Australian began his season at the Sony Open.
In October, Audrey’s infectious disease doctor told her she was healthy enough to get pregnant and Leishman confirmed on Friday that the couple is expecting their third child in mid-July.
