Lucas Herbert wins LIV Golf Virginia

Lucas Herbert has secured a career-defining victory at the LIV Golf Virginia event, leading from the first round to the final green.

The Australian star carded a final-round 69 to finish 14-under par, comfortably beating major winner Sergio Garcia by four strokes.

The victory earned Herbert a massive $5.5 million individual prize and vaulted him to third in the season standings.

Crucially, the win also secures Herbert's place in next month's U.S. Open at Oakmont, providing a vital pathway back to major championship golf amid the ongoing divide in the professional game.
