5 players who could win their maiden major championship soon

#5 Marc Leishman

Official Golf World Ranking: No. 16 Best Major Finish: T2 (2015 The Open)

Now there is no doubting that compared to other names on this list, Marc Leishman is no way near as famous. The Australian international may not have the fame as many others, but he certainly has the game to compete at the highest level.

He also may have better form in the majors than you might imagine. When Adam Scott pushed out Angel Cabrera in the playoff to win at the 2013 US Masters, Leishman was narrowly behind the leaders and finished in tied fourth alongside Tiger Woods.

Leishman is also the only player on this list who has tied the lead in a major, only to narrowly miss out in a playoff. In 2015, Leishman was joined by Louis Oosthuizen and Zach Johnson in a three-man playoff, after a winner could not be decided in 72 holes. Zach Johnson went on to win this but, the Australian now knows what it is like to be right on the brink of winning a major championship.

It is surely only a matter of time before Leishman joins fellow Australians Adam Scott and Jason Day as major winners.

Winning big titles such as the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the BMW Championship illustrates how good Leishman can be on his day and why he definitely deserves to be on this list as soon to be major champions.
