Team USA took the ascendancy after racing to a 4-1 lead on the back of a dominant performance in the foursomes competition at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Korea.
Leishman and New Zealander Danny Lee put in a spirited effort against world number one Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson, going down 4-3.
The American duo sealed the win on the 15th hole, having led from the outset. They won the opening two holes and maintained that advantage until the ninth when Leishman and Lee produced their first triumph of the day. But the Americans won three of the next four holes to take a commanding lead.
South African pair Louis Oosthuizen and Branden Grace teamed to produce the Internationals’ sole victory on day one.
