Ripper GC's Marc Leishman Tops LIV Golf Leaderboard At International Series Philippines

There was no LIV Golf success at the International Series Philippines this week as home favorite Miguel Tabuena romped to success by three strokes at his home course in Manila.

The Filipino native plays out of Sta Elena Golf Club and used his depth of knowledge to great effect, winning his first International Series title comfortably on 24-under-par.

Behind him was the Japanese duo of Kazuki Higa and Yosuke Asaji, with the former soaring to the top of the Asian Tour's Order of Merit as a result of his latest strong result.

Further down the leaderboard - but still inside the top-10 - was the leading LIV Golf League representative, Marc Leishman.

The Ripper GC man carded a closing 65 (-7) at Sta Elena GC to wrap up solo sixth on 19-under, one shot clear of Gaganjeet Bhullar and Legion XIII's Caleb Surratt in a tie for seventh.

The final LIV-linked pro to settle inside the top-10 was Max Rottluff, with the LIV Golf reserve player posting 15-under to share ninth with Austen Truslow and Soomin Lee.

But it was Leishman who claimed the bragging rights among the LIV golfers this week thanks to rounds of 68, 71, 65 and 65. Those scores also secured him a check for around $66,000.

The Ripper GC man was one of many LIV players to tee it up this week in the Philippines, with the series offering a full LIV card to the Rankings leader at the end of the season.

Scott Vincent continues to lead the way in the International Series Rankings following a T15th finish in the Philippines, level with Dustin Johnson and one stroke behind Charl Schwartzel, Chase Koepka and Rattanon Wannasrichan in T12th.

The next closest LIV players were Peter Uihlein, Patrick Reed and Dean Burmester on 11-under in T20th. Burmester was the leading LIV player through 54 holes but endured something of a nightmare on Sunday, posting 75 and falling steadily down the pylon.

Richard Bland recovered from a two-over 74 on Friday to finish T30th on -10, helped by scores of 67 on Saturday and 71 in the final round.

Chieh-po Lee was very consistent throughout the week to post nine-under in total, racking up totals of 71, 69, 69 and 70 to end T36th.

And the final LIV golfer to make the cut was Kevin Na. However, the Iron Heads GC captain finished dead last of the 66 pros who made the cut after shooting 76 and 77 over the weekend to finish at four-over for the tournament.
