Ripper GC’s Marc Leishman Tops LIV Golf Leaderboard At International Series Philippines

The Australian led the way for LIV golfers at Sta Elena Golf Club in Manila but still finished a long way back of home favorite and winner, Miguel Tabuena

There was no LIV Golf success at the International Series Philippines this week as home favorite Miguel Tabuena romped to success by three strokes at his home course in Manila.

The Filipino native plays out of Sta Elena Golf Club and used his depth of knowledge to great effect, winning his first International Series title comfortably on 24-under-par.

Behind him was the Japanese duo of Kazuki Higa and Yosuke Asaji, with the former soaring to the top of the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit as a result of his latest strong result.You may like

Further down the leaderboard – but still inside the top-10 – was the leading LIV Golf League representative, Marc Leishman.

The Ripper GC man carded a closing 65 (-7) at Sta Elena GC to wrap up solo sixth on 19-under, one shot clear of Gaganjeet Bhullar and Legion XIII’s Caleb Surratt in a tie for seventh.

The final LIV-linked pro to settle inside the top-10 was Max Rottluff, with the LIV Golf reserve player posting 15-under to share ninth with Austen Truslow and Soomin Lee.

But it was Leishman who claimed the bragging rights among the LIV golfers this week thanks to rounds of 68, 71, 65 and 65. Those scores also secured him a check for around $66,000.
