While back-to-back tournaments in different states may seem strenuous, the Warrnambool golfer is looking forward to it.

"It's going to be a good thing," he said.

"I think I'm still in holiday mode a bit. Hopefully I snap out of it and play some good golf.

"I need to get back into work mode."

Leishman arrived back from his successful debut on the US PGA Tour mid last month.

He only had a few days before playing in the Australian Masters, which was followed by a two week break.

He shot four-over-par 292 in the Australian Open, which wrapped up at New South Wales Golf Club's La Perouse course yesterday.

He finished tied for 34th and 19 shots behind winner Adam Scott, whose final-round even-par 72 left him on 15-under par for the week and allowed him to end his worst season as a professional on a high.

Stuart Appleby's three-over 75 meant he finished on 10-under and in outright second.

Leishman wasn't too impressed by his own performance.

"To be honest it was pretty average," he said.

"I started all right on Thursday but that's as good as it got."

The 26-year-old fired one-under-par 71 on the opening day followed by scores of 75, 73 and 73.

"It wasn't an absolute disaster," he said. "I just hadn't played in winds for so long.

"I was a bit rusty hitting low shots. In America, you had to hit everything so high.

"It's a fair difference and it was a bit of a challenge."

The wind was so wild on Friday that gusts of up to 65kmh forced play to be suspended.

"I didn't tee off until 6.30 at night and played about six holes until about 8 o'clock," Leishman said.

"We had to play 30 holes (on Saturday) so we were at the course at 5am.

"It was a pretty big day. You don't really think about how long you've been out there or how far you've walked - you just do what you have to."

Yesterday was inconsistent for Leishman after his scorecard included five bogeys and four birdies.

He will fly to Maroochydore this morning before practicing this afternoon and each day leading up to the Australian PGA.

The $1.5 million tournament begins on Thursday at Coolum on the Sunshine Coast.
