Smith fights back to triumph again

– Cameron Smith edged Marc Leishman by two strokes in a seesaw final round to retain his Australian PGA Championship title yesterday.

Australian Smith, 25, made two bogeys in the first four holes as his three-shot overnight lead over compatriot Leishman evaporated but fought back brilliantly over the back nine to claim victory at the European Tour co-sanctioned event.
