Australia’s Lucas Herbert swept to victory on the final day of the LIV UK event in Staffordshire.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old led throughout at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester and carried a three-shot advantage over Bryson DeChambeau into the final round.<\/p>\n

And the world number 69 rammed home his dominance on Sunday by firing the round of the day – a 10-under 62 – to finish on 30-under overall.<\/p>\n

Herbert won by six strokes from England’s Tyrrell Hatton, who shot a 63, while American DeChambeau finished three shots further back in third.<\/p>\n

It was Herbert’s second LIV victory of the year and his 30-under finish was the lowest in the tour’s five-year history.<\/p>\n

Last week the Australian finished in a tie for sixth in the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, four shots behind winner Ryan Fox.<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to carry that into this week the best I could,” said Herbert.<\/p>\n

“It was good to play like that today when I was being pushed by two of the best players in the world.”<\/p>\n

Hatton, who won the previous LIV event in Andalucia,<\/a> added: “I wanted to get off to a fast start, which is what I did, but unfortunately Lucas did as well.<\/p>\n

“It would have been amazing to win in front of home fans, but I tried my best. Lucas was incredible this week.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LIV UK final leaderboard -30 L Herbert (Aus); -24 T Hatton (Eng); -21 B DeChambeau (US); -17 C…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":712578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-712577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712577","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=712577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/712578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=712577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=712577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=712577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
