Adam Scott picked Marc Leishman as his partner to represent Australia at the World Cup of Golf, replacing top-ranked Jason Day, who withdrew to rest his ailing back.
Scott, the sixth-ranked player in the world, and Leishman will comprise one of 28 teams competing on behalf of their countries at the Kingston Heath Golf club from Nov. 23-27. It will mark the first World Cup of Golf appearance for Leishman, who is a six-time event winner worldwide, including his lone PGA Tour victory at the 2012 Traveler Championship.
