Marc gets his Open ticket

AUSTRALIA’S Marc Leishman is one of 27 golfers who have been given full exemptions to the US Open to be played at Erin Hills in Wisconsin from June 15-18.

All exemptions were to players ranked in the top 60 in the world and brought the number of exempted players to 78 for the year’s second major. Leishman, who won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March to claim his first PGA Tour win since 2012, joins Jason Day and Adam Scott as exemptions in the field.
