With just 78 players in the field at the CIMB Classic, and no 36-hole cut, everybody had the potential to make a pretty nice paycheck at TPC Kuala Lumpur. However, to fulfill that potential required you go low. Real low. Since the tournament became an official PGA Tour event in 2013, the winning score in Malaysia has been no worse than 14 under par. And in the three previous playings of the event prior to this week, the winners have shot 26 under (Justin Thomas, 2015), 23 under (Justin Thomas, 2016) and 24 under (Pat Perez, 2017).
Enter Marc Leishman, who with a closing 65 finished the tournament at 26 under par, five strokes better than runners-up Emiliano Grillo, Chesson Hadley and Bronson Burgoon. Leishman started the final round tied with Gary Woodland and Shubhankar Sharma, but when the pair shot a 71 and 72, respectively, on Sunday, they got lapped by the 34-year-old Australian. Through a 29-hole stretch from the 18th hole of the first round to the 10th hole of the third round, Leishman was 19 under par. That's the formula that helps you win your fourth career PGA Tour title.
In the process, Leishman also grabbed $1.26 million for his efforts. Here's how much prize money every player in the field walked away with after four days at TPC Kuala Lumpur:
