Australia’s World Cup representatives Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith are on their way home and can launch their assault on the Aussie summer this week at a course where they have had success in the past.
Pat Perez has posted three consecutive rounds of 66 or lower, including his third-round eight-under 64 that has given him a four-shot lead in the CIMB Classic at TPC Kuala Lumpur.
After notching his first US PGA Tour victory at the Barbasol Championship, Grayson Murray has struggled to string four solid rounds together, including this week in the CIMB Classic.
Pat Perez followed up an opening-round 66 at the CIMB Classic on Thursday with a seven-under 65 to grab a one-stroke lead in the weather-delayed second round.
Defending champion Justin Thomas is six strokes back of Day 1 leader Cameron Smith, who shot a bogey-free 64 for a one-stroke lead at the CIMB Classic in Malaysia.
