None of it mattered. The Australian went out and shot 64-63 over the first two rounds to build the largest 36-hole lead of the 2026 LIV Golf season, and on Sunday, he closed it out with a four-shot win to claim his first individual LIV Golf title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Herbert leaned heavily on caddie Nick Pugh to navigate a course he was largely unfamiliar with, and the combination worked to perfection. His game from tee to green was dominant all week \u2014 he ranked first in the field in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, Strokes Gained: Approach and Strokes Gained: On Green in Rd. 2 alone. Trump National&#8217;s long, demanding layout suited Herbert&#8217;s all-around game perfectly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Here&#8217;s what Herbert had in the bag at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livgolf.com\/schedule\/virginia-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"text-fg-medium underline\">Maaden LIV Golf Virginia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Driver<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Brand\/Model: Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond \u00b7 9\u00b0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 7X<\/p>\n<p>3 Wood<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Brand\/Model: Ping G440 Max \u00b7 15\u00b0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana WB 63<\/p>\n<p>5 Wood<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Brand\/Model: Ping G440 Max \u00b7 19\u00b0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana WB 73<\/p>\n<p>Irons<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Brand\/Model: Srixon ZXI7 (4-5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Brand\/Model: Miura MB-101 (6-9)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100<\/p>\n<p>Wedges<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Brand\/Model: Titleist Vokey SM10 Lofts: 46\u00b0, 50\u00b0, 56\u00b0, 60\u00b0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100<\/p>\n<p>Putter<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Brand\/Model: Lab Golf OZ.1i<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Type: Mallet<\/p>\n<p>Golf Ball\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">Brand\/Model: Bridgestone Tour B X<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-article-body text-fg-low \">(Equipment data supplied by World Tour Survey)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STERLING, Va. \u2014 Lucas Herbert arrived at Trump National Golf Club Washington D.C. this week battling illness and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":435353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-435352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
