LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Three years ago, Billy Horschel appeared on the cusp of his first career FedExCup Playoff victory at TPC Boston before an errant approach to the 72nd hole sunk his chances. Despite the disappointment, he turned around and won the BMW Championship in his next start, then captured the Tour Championship and the season-long title.
After another sterling round from Marc Leishman at Conway Farms Golf Club, it appears history could be repeating itself – at least in part.
Leishman took a lead into the back nine two weeks ago at the Dell Technologies Championship, but he stumbled to an inward 40 that crushed his hopes and allowed Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth to race past him.
