Marc Leishman makes amazing birdie at Dell Technologies Championship
Friday 31 August 2018 22:00, UK
Marc Leishman made a strong start to the Dell Technologies Championship after receiving one of the luckiest breaks of the season during his opening round.
Leishman recovered from an opening-hole double-bogey to card a three-under 68 at TPC Boston, with the pick of his five birdies coming in bizarre circumstances at the par-four sixth.
After the Australian's tee shot finished in a horrendous lie and just inside a fairway bunker, he shanked his second way right and saw his ball seemed destined to fly out of bounds.
The ball then cannoned off a spectator's boot and ricocheted fortunately towards the green, where Leishman then holed from 56-feet for the most unlikely of birdies.
"That's the first time that's ever happened to me," Leishman told reporters after his round. "It's nice when it does happen!"
