SYDNEY — Marc Leishman thinks Patrick Reed’s rules violation at the Hero World Challenge has given the Melbourne crowd plenty of ammunition to try and get under the American’s skin at next week’s Presidents Cup. Australian Leishman, a member of the International team taking on a United States side featuring Reed and captained by Woods next week, said he had not been impressed by the incident. “Yeah, I did see it and it looked pretty ordinary, to be honest,” he told reporters at the Australian Open on Saturday. Maybe not shovels, but I think he’s definitely opened a door there, that he’s brought on himself,” he said. The United States team has won all but two of the 12 Presidents Cup contests with the sole International triumph coming at Royal Melbourne in 1998.
