Marc Leishman was 2-down to Pat Perez on the 16th hole Thursday at the WGC-Match Play and needed to pull out all the stops.
Leishman was 258 yards out at the par-5 and decided to hit his driver off the deck in very windy conditions. The Aussie nailed his shot perfectly, finishing 10 feet for eagle.
Unfortunately for the recent PGA Tour winner, he missed the putt and lost the match 2&1 to Perez.
