Australian golf fans have an Australia Day to remember as Marc Leishman wins a US PGA title at Torrey Pines and Lucas Herbert claims his maiden European tour title at the Dubai Desert Classic.

Marc Leishman has stormed to a stunning, come-from-behind US PGA Tour victory at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, after Lucas Herbert secured his first European Tour title in Dubai on a fabulous Australia Day for the nation's golfers.
