The American-based professional failed to make the cut after carding a five-over par 76 in round two at the Australian Golf Club on Friday.
He started day two seven shots off the pace and never recovered, recording two double bogeys and five bogeys.
Three birdies – on the second, 12th and 14th – weren’t enough to overcome his horror holes and save him from an early exit.
Leishman, who spent four days in the south-west before travelling to Sydney, was desperate to win the Stonehaven Cup during a whirlwind visit home.
Australian Matthew Jones leads the way after carding a 68 on day two.
Countryman Todd Sinnott is a further three shots off the pace in second.
Defending champion, American ace Jordan Spieth, is tied for third following his three-under par second round.
