LEADERS\u2019 GROUP: The players in the final group starting off the No. 1 tee are the top three players on the leaderboard \u2013 Jon Rahm<\/a>, Ben Campbell<\/a> and Bryson DeChambeau<\/a>. Rahm and DeChambeau are multiple major winners who have shared plenty of groups during their pro golf careers, while Campbell is looking forward to the opportunity to compete against them Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot from hanging out with those guys, having dinner with guys like Rahm,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cI\u2019ve played a couple of times with him. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever played with Bryson, so looking forward to that tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

HERBERT STAYS HOT: Lucas Herbert<\/a>\u2019s opening round of the 2026 season last week in Riyadh was a 3-over 75 that left him at the bottom of the leaderboard. But he rallied over the final three rounds, shooting 20 under to finish inside the top 10 to help his Ripper GC<\/a> win the team title.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u2019s kept that momentum going through the first two rounds on home turf in Adelaide and will start the weekend tied for 7th after shooting a second-round 7-under 65. He said the lessons learned last week are paying off in Adelaide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think I had kind of two things to deal with,\u201d Herbert said. \u201cOne was obviously I got off to a bad start last week, so I wanted to make sure I got off to a better start this week. It’s a four-rounder. You can’t win it on the first day, but you can definitely lose it. So I wanted to make sure I didn’t lose it on that first day, and I was happy with yesterday. I think I was two shots outside the top 10 when I finished, which is very respectable and right there with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was that, but then also I think sometimes when you’re playing well, it can be a little scary because you almost \u2013 I don’t know what to do. You’re always working on things when your game is struggling, and you know things that you’re working into or feels that you’re trying to create or whatever. When you’re playing well, it can be a bit scary sometimes going, well, what do I do now. So just wanted to make sure I didn’t over-practice early in the week, didn’t overdo it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s pretty easy to burn energy out there, especially in the heat. Just wanted to make sure I tried to burn as few calories as I could the last few days, so I’ve got some energy left come Sunday. Now it looks like we’re going to be somewhere up the top of the leaderboard going into Saturday at least, so I’ve got that energy to spare.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

LEGION XIII\u2019S SONG SELECTION: The four members of Legion XIII<\/a> do not pick their own walk-up songs for The Watering Hole, the par-3 12th at The Grange that is the epicenter of the party vibe this week. Instead, captain Jon Rahm<\/a> and teammate Tyrrell Hatton<\/a> make the selections for each other as well as their two young teammates, Tom McKibbin<\/a> and Caleb Surratt<\/a>. The players have no idea what\u2019s picked until they address their tee shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, Rahm walked out to \u201cAlways Be My Baby,\u201d by Mariah Carey. Hatton\u2019s was \u201cCrazy Train\u201d by Ozzy Osbourne. McKibbin\u2019s was \u201cFreak Me\u201d by Silk and Surratt\u2019s was \u201cAxel F\u201d by Crazy Frog.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Caleb gets the harder ones just because musically, at least, he listens to mostly country, so we\u2019re trying to go as far away as possible from things like that,\u201d Rahm explained. \u201cWhile Baby Shark was going on yesterday, he had Crazy Frog today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just fun because we know it upsets him so much. The other three of us don\u2019t really care. I just think it\u2019s a little bit of fun with something like that. I\u2019m looking forward to whatever they may have tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LEADERS\u2019 GROUP: The players in the final group starting off the No. 1 tee are the top three…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":424284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-424283","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/424284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
