Lucas Herbert's first LIV Golf title sends him to the U.S. Open
The 30-year-old Aussie now owns career titles across LIV, the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Asian Tour and heads to Shinnecock Hills, site of his first major start.
Lucas Herbert secured a U. S. Open berth from a wire-to-wire victory at LIV Golf Virginia that also ensured the Australian owns career victories on every major tour in golf.
LIV, which recently had Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund confirm it would not fund the league after 2026, staged its first event in the U. S. for the season at Trump National in Washington, D.
C. Herbert battled the flu all week and did not see the front nine at the golf course before the event started on Thursday. Beware the injured golfer.
Herbert was superb during opening rounds of 64-63 before a 68 on Day 3 and a closing 69 to finish at 24 under, four shots ahead of Sergio Garcia in second. Bryson DeChambeau was third at 19 under. The 30-year-old Aussie now owns career titles across LIV, the PGA Tour (2021 Bermuda Championship), DP World Tour (2020 Dubai Desert Classic, 2021 Irish Open and 2023 ISPS Handa Championship in Japan) and Asian Tour (2025 International Series Japan).
