Lucas Herbert finished 30-under, won LIV Golf UK by six shots and produced rounds of 61 and 62 in the same week. Then Cam Smith delivered the biggest statement of the winners’ press conference: Herbert is currently playing like a top-five or top-10 golfer in the world.
Herbert explains how Tyrrell Hatton’s six-under opening nine and the expected charge from Bryson DeChambeau forced him to keep attacking during a remarkable final-round 62 at JCB Golf & Country Club.
Cam Smith says “nothing scares” Herbert when he enters this kind of zone and predicts that his Ripper GC teammate could win another one or two tournaments before the end of the season. Marc Leishman reveals the work behind Herbert’s transformation, Travis Smyth admits he felt enormous pressure not to let the team down, and the Australian quartet explain the bizarre carrot-cutting contest that helped them switch off from golf.
Watch the complete press conference with Lucas Herbert, Cam Smith, Marc Leishman and Travis Smyth after Herbert’s dominant individual victory and Ripper GC’s team triumph at LIV Golf UK.
Is Lucas Herbert already one of the ten best golfers in the world?
30-under. A six-shot victory. A 61 and a 62 in the same week.
Cam Smith says Lucas Herbert is currently playing like a top-five or top-10 golfer in the world and that “nothing scares him”.
Is Cam right?
Absolutely
Top 20, not top 10
Too soon
