Nagpasya na rin ang Australian golfer na si Marc Leishman na hindi sumali sa nalalapit na Olympic Games sa Rio de Janeiro, dahil sa problema sa kalusugan ng kanyang asawa.
Si Leishman, na number three ranked golfer ng Australia, ang mismong nagpahayag nitong Huwebes, habang kinumpirma na hindi na ito makakalaro sa Games sa Agosto dahil ang asawa nito na si Audrey ay patuloy sa pagbangon sa toxic shock syndrome.
Una nang umayaw ang one-time PGA Tour winner sa nakaraang taon na Masters matapos halos bawiin ng kanyang hininga ang asawang si Audrey na nanatili sa loob ng ilang araw sa coma.
Dahil hindi makakasali sina Adam Scott at Leishman sa Olympics ay naiwan kay Marc Fraser ang pole position upang makasama ang world number one na si Jason Day sa Brazil.

“It is with deep regret that I have informed Golf Australia that I will be unable to represent my country in the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Brazil,” sabi ni Leishman.
“Many of you may know that last April my children and I almost lost my wife, Audrey, to toxic shock syndrome.Since then Audrey has been prone to infection and is far removed from 100 per cent recovery of her immune system.”
“We have consulted with Audrey’s physician and due to her ongoing recovery from toxic shock and potential risks associated with the transmission of the Zika virus, it was a difficult yet easy decision not to participate.”
“I missed playing in the 2015 Masters tournament to be at her side when she was originally stricken and I cannot risk placing her health in jeopardy. The Masters and the Olympics are the two biggest tournaments to which a golfer can be invited; however, my family will always come before golf,” pagtatapat nito.
