Aussie pair finish well back

Australian Marc Leishman shot a four-under-par 67 in the final round but could not overhaul winner American Justin Bolli in the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic. Leishman and compatriot David McKenzie (71) were tied for 18th on six-under in the Nationwide Tour event, eight shots behind Bolli, who secured a one-stroke victory with a final round of 66. American Patrick Sheehan and Welshman Richard Johnson were equal second on 13-under after carding rounds of 68 and 72 respectively. Leishman, who began the day in 46th position, finished the tournament in style, picking up birdies on the final two holes. McKenzie had his round ruined by double bogeys on the ninth and 14th for an even-par-71. Compatriot Greg Chalmers (70) and Kiwi Phil Tataurangi (68)were the next best-placed Australasians in 21st position on five-under.
