STERLING, Va. (AP) --- Lucas Herbert had seven birdies to go along with an
eagle, leading to an 8-under 64 at Trump National and a two-shot lead in LIV
Golf Virginia on Thursday.
The 57 players were back to golf after weeks of questions about their future
funding with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia announcing the
financial support stops after this year.
Marc Leishman of Australia, who lives in Virginia, shot a 66 and was tied for
second along with Tyrrell Hatton, Sergio Garcia and Sebastian Munoz.
Herbert was feeling sick earlier in the week and only played nine holes on a
course he had never seen. He figures that might have helped him not trying
anything bold, instead listening to his caddie and trying to follow directions.
He had not seen the front nine, where he made his eagle and ran off three
straight birdies.
Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, each with two wins this year on LIV Golf, each
shot 69 and were five shots behind.
