Following his impressive performance at the Open at Royal Birkdale, Lucas Herbert of Australia achieved a historic win at the LIV Golf UK event in Staffordshire, setting a new record with a score of 30 under par. This outstanding feat saw him finish six strokes ahead of Tyrrell Hatton and nine strokes clear of Bryson DeChambeau. Herbert's remarkable achievement included setting new LIV Golf records for the most birdies in a tournament, with 30, and the most combined birdies and eagles, with 32. His victory was marked by exceptional rounds, including an 11-under 61 on the first day and a blemish-free 62 on the final day.
Herbert's success in the UK follows his previous win in Virginia in May, demonstrating his consistent skill and determination in the sport. He attributed his win to carrying the momentum from his previous performance, stating, 'I just wanted to carry that into this week the best I could.' Tyrrell Hatton, who finished second, praised Herbert's incredible performance, saying, 'Lucas was incredible this week.'
