rushing HG is fine for Malz, rushing Liandry's is a poor idea. Liandry's doesn't particularly force multiply Malz's strong base damage values or ap ratios much more than HG. I would strongly recommend buying some other ap items to either help his laning (Athenes, RoA), boost raw damage (Deathcap, Void), or commit to some tankiness for late game (Rylais, Zhonya's) before you finish Liandry's. It's a good buy on him... just not before other items.
