Marc Leishman claims Australian golf rankings throneGETTY IMAGES Marc Leishman is now the top-ranked Australian golfer. Marc Leishman says he'll only briefly savour becoming the top-ranked Australian golfer for the first time before working even harder. Leishman ended a six-year monopoly former world No 1s Jason Day and Adam Scott held on the Australian top spot when the rankings were updated on Monday (Tuesday NZT). "The goal for 2018 would definitely be to win a major and win a few times on tour," Leishman said. "Hopefully, after I've showed the golf world this year that I'm tough to beat when I'm playing well, the next step is to win a major," said Leishman.
