On the practice putting greens of Torrey Pines in the days leading to the Farmers Insurance Open, Marc Leishman’s thoughts turned to, of all places, Malaysia. 18 to tie Leishman, and he’d pulled off that feat before in the final round of his Farmers victory in 2017. But when the Spaniard’s 56-foot eagle putt veered inches left of the cup and he could only make birdie for a two-under 70, Leishman could exhale and celebrate. He hadn’t looked at a scoreboard and didn’t think there was much commotion on the green when Leishman finished.
