The Outlook
I thought this could’ve been the Summer of Leishman, with Shinnecock and Carnoustie seemingly playing to his style of play, but after 45th- and 60th-place finishes, he’s still looking to match his top 10 from the Masters. Leishman is in good form right now — the truth is, he’s rarely in poor form — but he’ll need to bring his best stuff to Bellerive in order to seriously contend.
