Zurich Classic Of New Orleans

Aussies Leishman And Smith Pair To Playoff Win

Australia’s Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith parred the first playoff hole to win the US PGA Tour Zurich Classic of New Orleans over the South African duo of Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. Both teams finished Sunday’s foursomes final round at TPC Louisiana at 20-under 268.

When they returned to the par-five 18th to play the first hole of sudden death in alternate-shot format, Oosthuizen put his tee shot into the water guarding the right side of the hole, opening the door for Leishman and Smith.

The Australian pair had started the day one stroke behind Oosthuizen and Schwartzel but pulled level after three birdies on the front nine.
