Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith Team Together Trying To Win.

Australia might have been shut out in the last ten Presidents Cups, but the golf-wealthy island continent got a PGA Tour team win on Sunday, with countrymen Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith pairing up to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

In the fourth edition of the 83-year-old event since it made the switch to a team challenge, the duo used a flawless first 12 holes to force a playoff with the South African tandem of Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen, which they then won on the first sudden death hole.

For both the 38-year-old Oosthuizen and the 36-year-old Schwartzel, their last PGA Tour win was the major they won: Oosthuizen obliterated the field at the 2010 Open Championship, while Schwartzel had arguably the best closing four holes ever when he won the 2011 Masters.

The team of 37-year-old Leishman and 27-year-old Smith birdied 2 and 7, and then tied the lead with an unlikely birdie on the par-3 9th, which is mostly credited to an immaculate tee shot by Leishman.
