WATCH: Ripper GC’s Marc Leishman talks about how putting adjustments helped him card a better score

Ripper GC Marc Leishman topped the leaderboard of the 2023 LIV Golf Jeddah event after the first round on Friday, Oct. 13. He finished with a score of under 5, one stroke ahead of Dustin Johnson, Harold Varner III and Brooks Koepka.

An easy fix has helped Leishman's putting at the tournament. After the first round, Leishman opened up about his golfing tactics (via LIV Golf):

"Yeah, it was actually really simple. It was just my alignment was off. You know, I thought, I was aiming at the hole from 10 feet, but I was aiming about two inches left of the left."

"So, my good putts were missing left. I'd have to push it to go in, so it was, you know, I won't say a quick fix but a, a pretty easy fix, you know, just a bit of work on the putting mirror and string and it fixed itself pretty quickly. So it certainly helps with making putts when you're aiming where you think you are," he added.

Here's his interview:
