The hair story of the new pair of champions Zurich Classic

Leishman and Smith are from Australia. On April 25, this pair of golfer went to the podium after a match against Louis Oosthuizen-Charl Schwartzel.

International golfers often know Smith in his mullet style – short hair on the front and sides, long back. This style was initiated by the band Beastie Boys and was popular with the release of the song “Mullet Head” in 1994.

Pairing with Smith in Zurich Classic, Leishman bought a $ 18 fake mullet from Amazon a week before the prize, picking up the right hairstyles for the team on his way to the entry hole. Both see it as inspiration.

In the penultimate round, he wore this wig before joining Smith on the teeing ground in the tumultuous music. In that match, they closed the final round of 63 strokes, thereby standing T2 with -18 points after 54 holes.

“I was going to hit the ball with that hair. But the wind is too big,” said Leishman, chuckling over Golf Channel. On the closing day, the player born in 1983 gave up the idea. “We need to focus on the first hole,” explained Leishman.

In fact, the junior Smith promised his girlfriend to get rid of the mullet if he won the Zurich Classic. But in the end it’s a promise for … fun. “Maybe I have to apologize to my girlfriend for this hairstyle is an essential part,” Smith said as he and his senior Leishman held the Cup and the bonus logo of $ 1.069 million each.

Leishman and Smith share a house near the TPC Louisiana stadium. The afternoon before the opening day, Smith planned to go to a nearby hair salon to have his hair trimmed but then changed his mind.

“Marc said to let him cut it because he used to work for the boys at home. I trusted and satisfied with the finished product,” Smith said.

“During the time of the Covid-19 quarantine, all the hairstores were closed, and the hair was messy so I reluctantly worked as a mechanic. I worried a little for Cameron, but after that it was all right. Leishman revealed.

“If it fails, maybe I kill Marc. But the old hairline is still there, so he’s easy to do. Just follow the pattern,” Smith said.

With the Zurich Classic 2021, Smith won the PGA Tour for the third time while Leishman was crowned for the sixth time. Smith won the event in 2017 – when Zurich Classic went to a team stroke play, after 79 years of individual stroke play. Meanwhile, he paired with Swedish golfer Jonas Blixt, beat Scott Brown – Kevin Kisner in the fourth hole. And with the Sony Open 2020, Smith’s three PGA Tour titles are all from the “side pit war”.
