Victorian Lucas Herbert, in his first full season on the PGA Tour, produced a remarkable round of 68 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando and improved from an overnight share of 33rd to finish in a share of 7th.
Playing more than three hours ahead of the final group and with fellow countryman Adam Scott, Herbert birdied three of his first four holes, in some of the more demanding conditions he has faced on the PGA Tour thus far, to make progress on the field.
Although he would drop shots through the middle of his round a birdie from 6 feet or so at the 15th was followed by a monster putt from 50 feet at the 16th for eagle and at 2 under and with the field behind him on the golf course struggling there was an outside chance of him contending for the title.
It would not be the case as he would finish three shots behind the winner Scottie Scheffler, who won the tournament with a 72 hole total of 5 under par, but to have finished 7th and the manner in which he did so was one of the performances of the day.
His round was, in fact, the best of the day by one ahead of England’s Tyrrell Hatton and given how he coped with the conditions he was enthusiastic about his effort.
“I’m pretty proud of myself for today’s round,” said the 26 year old after his round. “It was very, very hot out there. Obviously, you can look on TV, and everyone’s going to see it. There’s no room to hit bad shots out there. You get pretty heavily punished if you get it offline or get your yardage into the green or whatnot.
“Very, very proud of the way I played out there. Really proud to hopefully finish in the top ten first time here at Bay Hill. Yeah, it’s been a bit of a slow start to the year, so it’s good to sort of get a nice result in, hopefully build on some confidence going forward.”
Herbert was asked what had been the difference given he had missed the last two cuts and had not been anywhere near the form that saw him win on the PGA Tour late last year.
“I think it’s a bit of a combination of everything. Dom (Azzopadi), my coach, came over and just helped me with a bunch of technique stuff the last couple of weeks. Where it was like everything was kind of close at Phoenix and Honda, and I felt like I played better than two missed cuts. I didn’t feel like I did a lot wrong. Unfortunately wasn’t playing the weekend there.
“So it didn’t feel like it needed to be a big change from the way I was playing, but it doesn’t surprise me to finish the way I did given — even though the results weren’t there leading up to it, the form felt like it was.
“I think these conditions, Scotty (Adam Scott) and I were talking about the fact that these conditions suit Australians. We’re used to just playing firm, fast, windy conditions, and I think that plays into our hand a lot.
“It was just one of those days, you obviously watch Adam who doesn’t miss a lot of shots. That obviously watch Adam who doesn’t miss a lot of shots. That obviously inspires you a little bit as well. Just a day where I played really nice as well. Everything kind of came together for me.”
Herbert made reference to the time he spent back in Australia last year playing golf at his now base on the Sunshine Coast and how rather than be disrupted by the issues Covid created he actually enjoyed it.
After THE PLAYERS, we (he and Scott) shot down there for COVID. He flew back to Australia. So when we had that three or four months there where we didn’t have any events going, we were both back in Australia.
On the Sunshine Coast we kind of ended up — a lot of the Senior Tour guys who were normally playing Seniors Pro-Ams, had nothing to do too. We almost kind of started our own tour. Not quite at the Saudi level, but we were playing 100 bucks each. 100 bucks in each Friday to all the courses around in the local area. It was pretty good.
“We were playing with like amateurs that were up there at the time, veteran Tour pros, Tour pros that are sort of trying to make it on Tour, and guys like Scotty. We had a really nice mix. It was so casual and so laid back. I thought it was great. I actually really enjoyed that COVID lockdown.”
Herbert now looks ahead to his first appearance at the Players Championship next week.
Adam Scott could not match the brilliance of Herbert on day four and finished tied for 26th after a final round of 74, Matt Jones was 52nd, New Zealand’s Danny Lee 61st and Marc Leishman 68th.
Former winner Jason Day was forced to withdraw on the eve of the tournament following the passing of his mother Denning.

Cameron Smith creeping closer at Players Championship
Cameron Smith – just two from the lead – file photo IGF
Cameron Smith has played only one hole in round two of the Players Championship but a birdie from 25 feet at that hole has seen the Queenslander leap nine positions in the horrific conditions that prevailed on day three to a share of 6th in the US$20 million event.
Smith is now just two shots from the lead held currently by Tommy Fleetwood and Tom Berge (the latter of whom has yet to even commence his second round) after his opening round of 69 was just his second round in the 60’s in 13 attempts in an event which is played essentially in his backyard.
There are still several players to even begin their second round as a result of the weather enforced disruption to the event. Players will be required to return early on Sunday morning in what are forecast to be very cold and windy conditions to complete round two and hopefully most of round three before the tournament is completed on Monday US time.
Lucas Herbert was able to complete his second round in 74 but it would be a triple bogey 8 at the 9th hole that spoiled what has otherwise been an impressive debut in the event.
Herbert was required to finish off his opening round early on Saturday morning, a bogey at the final of the three holes he was required to complete saw him finish with a solid start of 2 under 70.
Herbert currently shares 55th place at even par but having completed round two, and with a majority of the field yet to do so, the demanding conditions are expected to take their toll and he will improve his standing significantly as he awaits the field to complete 36 holes.
Jason Day opened with a round of 69 yesterday which after the sadness of losing his mother last week was an impressive start but his round of 78 today included three double bogeys and an outward nine of 41.
Day is currently in 93rd place but there is a lot to play out in this event and it might be that making the cut is not yet out of the question given the conditions expected tomorrow and that more than fifty players will have to face those conditions as they complete round two.
Cameron Davis (76) and Marc Leishman (78) are also tied for 93rd with both having also completed 36 holes, New Zealand’s Danny Lee is 114th, while Matt Jones and Adam Scott have only just started their second rounds and are tied for 119th.

Weather chaos at Players Championship
Jason Day – back after time away to mark the passing of his mother Denning
Play in the second round of the US$20 million Players Championship at the TPC Sawgrass at Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida was again disrupted by rain deluges and storms and at the end of day two more than forty players are yet to complete even their first round.
The result of the disruption will ensure play must now go into Monday US time to complete golf’s richest tournament, Sunday reserved for what will be the completion of the opening round and hopefully round two.
That is still very much dependent however on weather playing its part which appears only a remote possibility at this stage, so the future of the 2022 version remains uncertain.
Tommy Fleetwood and Tom Hoge have the lead at this early stage the pair tied at 6 under 66 although Brice Garnett has joined them on that score although after holing out from the fairway for eagle at his 13th hole he still has five holes to complete.
Cameron Smith, Jason Day and Lucas Herbert lead the Australians at 3 under although Day and Smith have yet to start their second round and Herbert still has three holes to play of round one.
Day’s performance was made all the more impressive given the passing of his mother just ahead of last week’s Arnold Palmer Championship.
Smith who is a resident of Ponte Vedra Beach, has not played the event well previously but he is after all the game’s 10th ranked player and improving that standing each and every year.
Herbert is in his rookie season on the PGA Tour and after an outward nine of even par he birdied three of his first five holes on the back nine to be at 3 under and with the opportunity to pick up a shot or two on Sunday morning.
Marc Leishman is at 2 under though 14 holes, Cam Davis 1 under with one hole to play, as is New Zealander Danny Lee with six holes to play while Adam Scott opened with a round of 78 and Matt Jones 79.
Su Oh chasing first LPGA Tour title in Thailand

A tap in eagle at her final hole of today’s second round of the Honda LPGA event in Thailand has given Victorian Su Oh a share of the halfway lead with Japan’s Nasa Hataoka at the Siam Country Club in Chonburi in Thailand and a chance at a first LPGA Tour tile.
The pair leads by one over Frenchwoman Celine Boutier and Denmark’s Nanna Koerstz Madsen with Oh chasing her first LPGA Tour title and Hataoka her 6th.
Oh began the day in a share of the lead after an opening round of 63 and although she would birdie five of her first 12 holes on day two it would not be until her three wood approach to the par 5 last finished less that two feet from the hole that she was assured of retaining a share of the lead.
14 birdies, one eagle and no bogeys highlighted an impressive day although, interestingly, she was not all that happy with her ball striking.
“The impact wasn’t very good today,” said the 25 year old Oh. “I was just kind of scrambling really well out there.
“I was like, come on, you want to hit some good shots before going into tomorrow. Such a long day, so I don’t think I would want to hit balls after.
“So just some things that I’ve just been working on in my swing, and I think it was just more the will of like hitting the ball solid.
“So, yeah, and I kind of had a really good yardage to that back pin at the last. Didn’t matter how hard I hit my 3-wood, it wouldn’t have carried on top, so I think that helped.
“I knew it was going to cover the front and then I knew I would have to get lucky, but it was pretty good number so I was like, Come on. Just hit the ball solid.
“So, yeah, kind of worked out really well.”
Oh is playing her fourth LPGA Tour event of the season after winning the Women’s Australian PGA Championship in Brisbane in January and although yet to win on the LPGA Tour in her six year career, she has opened the door for such a possibility.
This event has hardly been a great venue for her with a best of 62nd in her four previous starts.
“I don’t know,” added Oh when reminded she had not played well in Thailand previously. “Maybe that’s why – zero expectation.
“I know this golf course. You kind of have to hit it long, like it’s a long hitter’s course. So, I literally tried to hit it really hard on off the tee every shot.
“I actually didn’t drive it that great, but, I mean, it wasn’t bad clearly, so I knew — I just — you don’t really have to be that straight here. You can just hit it really far, and then you have such a big advantage.
“So I just tried to hit it pretty long. Yeah, I just knew I was like, Oh, it’s such a hard event to miss since you’re in Singapore. Yeah hopefully this — you know you don’t have to keep playing well. You just need one good week.”
Minjee Lee is tied for 8th and five shots of the lead, Hannah Green is 15th and two shots further back and Sarah Kemp withdrew after an opening round of 80.

Eight Australasians chasing record US$20 million Players purse
Adam Scott – previous winner and playing well – file photo European Tour
The Players Championship, the USPGA Tour’s flagship event, has long been considered one of golf’s most significant tournaments, not only for the fascination the TPC Sawgrass provides to television viewers and on-course fans, but that the field is typically one of the strongest of any event worldwide.
In 2022, another dimension is added when increased prizemoney takes it to the most lucrative in the game by some margin. This year’s purse is a massive US$20 million, a jump of US$5 million from the 15 million on offer in 2021 with the winner to take home US$3.6 million.
The next highest purse on the PGA Tour is likely to be that offered by the US Open and although that event’s prizemoney for 2022 has not yet been announced it is expected to be around $14 million, ensuring the Players Championship is head and shoulders above the next best in that regard.
The field of 144 will include seven Australians and one New Zealander headed by Cameron Smith the world’s 10th ranked player and he will be joined in world ranking order by Adam Scott, Marc Leishman, Lucas Herbert, Matt Jones, Cameron Davis, Jason Day and New Zealand’s Danny Lee.
The Australasians in this field to have won the event are Adam Scott who, in his third start at the Players he got up and down after finding the water at the last to win by one over Padraig Harrington, and Jason Day, who in 2016 lead by four at the halfway mark and went on to win by that margin over Kevin Chappell.
Scott has been very solid with his form in recent times missing only two cuts in his last 32 starts worldwide and his recent 4th place at Riviera suggests he is not too far from where he needs to be to contend this week.
Jason Day played well recently when 3rd at Torrey Pines and although the passing of his mother, Denning, last week will be playing on his mind this week it might also serve to inspire him to greater things given the role she played in getting him established in the game.
Cameron Smith’s best in four starts has been when 17th last year, Marc Leishman has recorded only one top ten in 11 starts at the TPC Sawgrass, Matt Jones a best of 17th in seven appearances, Cameron Davis missed the cut in his only start in 2021, Lucas Herbert plays the event for the first occasion and Danny Lee was 7th in 2018 but has missed three of has other five cuts.
There have been several surprise winners of the Players Championship including and none more so than New Zealand’s Craig Perks, who in 2002 finished eagle, birdie par to defeat Stephen Ames by two.
Hensby and Percy record rare PGA Tour finishes
Cameron Percy – file photo
Australians Cameron Percy and Mark Hensby have finished in a tie for 7th at this week’s PGA Tour’s alternate event, The Puerto Rico Classic in Rio Grande, the pair finishing well behind the winner, Ryan Brehm, but recording a welcome return to form.
For 50-year-old Hensby, it was his best finish on the PGA Tour since a share of 6th at the Barbasol Championship in July of 2015.
The former winner of the John Deere Classic in the US and Scandinavian Masters on the European Tour and a Presidents Cup team member in 2005, has not enjoyed status on the PGA Tour since 2010 but has played the occasional event where weaker fields have provided an opportunity for him.
Hensby gained a start in the event via a remote category involving past success, but he took full advantage and although not yet qualified for PGA Tour Champions status, his week might provide the impetus to attempt Monday qualifying for the over 50 tour.
Interestingly, this was Percy’s best finish since a similar placing in this very event last year and having missed the cut in his only two starts in 2022, this will provide a boost for him.
47-year-old Percy finished runner-up after a playoff in one of his early PGA Tour events in 2010 and has won on the Korn Ferry Tour. He is playing on a minor medical exemption in 2022 and will gain access to a limited number of events as a result.

Minjee Lee and Hannah Green have stormed home to finish tied for 2nd and 6th respectively at the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore, Lee finishing two shots behind the winner, Jin Young Ko and sharing second place with, In Gee Chun.
In a remarkable stretch of golf, Lee birdied nine of her final 12 holes on day four and although she threw in a couple of bogeys in that stretch she improved from 10th overnight to her share of second place.
“It’s been a while, said Lee referring to the fact that this is her first event of the year. “But I have been hitting it really well. So it’s the first week back, so knocking a little bit of the rust off. But it is really nice to have a really low one in there.
“I took a whole chunk of time off, and then I also had a long like training time, like training time as well, I guess, because I didn’t play the first three events. But, yeah, you know, I just saw my friends, and, you know, we did — we spent it outside getting some food and just hanging out. So it was really good.
Green, who won two lesser events in Australia before coming to Singapore, recovered from a slow start to her week when opening with a round of 74 on Thursday to make her way through the field to finish in a share of 6th. An eagle at her 16th hole today followed by a birdie at the 17th put the seal on a remarkable comeback from such a slow start.
Green was delighted to have played her way back into the tournament and her confidence continues to grow.
“Yeah, I’d love to be top 10 in the world, and I don’t see why I can’t win out here,” said Green referring to another chance she has in Asia next week when the LPGA Tour moves to Thailand.
I feel like I didn’t play my best golf, and I ended up almost in the top 10, or in the top 10, I guess.
So, yeah, hopefully this is just the start of a really good 2022 season.
Lydia Ko was 23rd, Su Oh 26th and Sarah Kemp 56th.
For the winner Ko it was her 13th LPGA Tour victory and will extend her lead at the top of the female world rankings.
Ko was also required to produce something very special late in her round and she was able to do just that with five birdies in her last six holes to overcome Atthaya Thitikul and In Gee Chun who appeared they might be the ones to fight out the title as the field made the turn.
Thitikul bogeyed her final hole to slip out of the share of second place.

Jarryd Felton’s resurgence continues with Sydney win

West Australian Jarryd Felton today won his fourth PGA Tour of Australasia title but his first since the WAPGA Championship nearly eighteen months ago with a playoff victory over Canberra’s successful Japan Tour player Brendan Jones.
The final round of the TPS Sydney at the Bonnie Doon Golf Club in Sydney’s east was called off through three holes of the final round with Felton having established a two-shot lead early before a deluge caused play the be postponed then abandoned.
Scores reverted to those relevant through 54 holes and with both Jones and Felton tied at the top at 15 under par at the completion of round three, a break in the weather allowed a playoff to be held.
Felton birdied the first extra hole with a birdie putt from 18 feet or so and the title and the $36,000 was his.
While all this was going on Felton’s partner and his fellow West Australian, Hannah Green, was powering home to finish 6th in an LPGA Tour event in Singapore.
Felton was a high class amateur but despite his four PGA Tour of Australasia titles there have been times when he was questioning just what his future in the game held.
A recent decision to work with noted Queensland based mind guru Sean Lynch appears to have him back on track mentally and he voiced such following his win.
“I sat in hotel quarantine in Perth,” Felton said when referring to some of the issues he has had to face as a West Australian during these Covid times. “Two weeks in there will make you think about a lot of things.”
“I touched base with a good friend of mine, Jamie Glazier, and he helped me out for a little bit there.
“Coming out of hotel quarantine I was really motivated and driven to get better, there was just nothing to play.
“Now that we’ve got tournaments to play I’m more motivated to get better. “I’ve got a lot of good things going, I’ve just got to stick the path and just keep trying to get better each day.
“That’s what myself and Sean are working at and it happened to happen really quick this week.”
For 47 year old Jones it was also a resurgence given he has played only one tour sanctioned event event in the past two years after being the Japan Tour’s most successful foreign player in the last twenty years.
Some of his wins there have been against strong fields including events such as the Visa Taiheyo Masters and a win in Chicago on the Nationwide Tour along with a runner-up finish to Peter Senior at the 2012 Australian Open bearing testament to this talented player’s ability.
The leading woman in the combined gender event was Grace Kim who tied for 6th with Cassie Porter sharing 8th place.

Koreans Jin Young Ko and Amy Yang have the halfway lead at the HSBC Women’s World Championships at the Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore, Ko the current world number one in the female game, and four-time LPGA Tour event winner, Yang, recording the same scores over the opening two rounds of 69 and 67 to lead by one over American Megan Khang, Canada’s Brooke Henderson and Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul.
For Ko it was her 16th consecutive round in the 60’s and continues the momentum she has been building since overtaking Nelly Korda to reclaim the number one position in the female game earlier this year. That she was able to do so despite visiting the water on two occasions in round one is further testament to just how well she is playing at present.
First round leader Patty Tavatanakit of Thailand was unable to build on her opening round of 67 and slipped to a round of 1 over and is back in a share of 15th place.
Su Oh heads the Australasians in 10th place at 5 under and three from the lead, Minjee Lee is at 4 under in a share of 15th place, Lydia Ko is 27th at 2 under, Hannah Green improved from her slow start yesterday with a round of 69 to be 36th and Sarah Kemp 49th in a field where this is no halfway cut.

Lucas Higgins surprise leader at TPS Sydney

Northern NSW’s golfer Lucas Higgins has the lead at the halfway mark of the TPS Sydney at the Bonnie Doon Golf Club in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
22 year old Higgins was required to finish off his opening round on Friday morning having played only 16 holes before darkness forced a closure of play on day one.
Higgins returned on Friday morning to birdie one of his last two holes and complete an opening round of 66. He then built on that impressive start to the event with a mid-round burst that included four birdies and a hole in one in a stretch of eight holes to finish with a round of 65 and at 11 under he leads by two over West Australian Jarryd Felton who was round in 64 on day two.
There is another shot back to 15-time Japan Tour event winner Brendan Jones who has reinvented himself after essentially two years away from tournament golf by adding a second round of 66 to his opening round of 68 top be just three from the lead.
Higgins, who plays out of the Murwillumbah Golf Club just south of the Queensland border and who was at one stage the Gold Coast Burleigh Golf Club Champion on the Gold Coast, is relatively new to professional golf, playing only half a dozen or so events on the PGA Tour of Australasia and has missed the cut in the last two he has played.
Higgins hometown of Murwillumbah has been devastated by the recent floods and he is grateful at the opportunity just to be playing the event.
“I’ve been working hard to try and get a start in these four-round events so to actually get a start and have the lead is great,” said Higgins.
“I’m just going to embrace it and try my best to do what I can.
“Seeing all the floods was pretty surreal to be honest. I’m very lucky to be down here and playing.
“My family is OK which is the main thing. Everyone is going to have to rebuild again. We only had a flood four years ago so it’s pretty hard to see.
“Hopefully I can do everyone proud back home and give them something to smile about.”
Felton is a former leading amateur who has won events such as the New Zealand, NSW and NT PGA Championships but until recently he had been struggling with his game. A 9th place at the QLD PGA and another solid week at Cobram Barooga and now this week’s effort suggests his game might well be on the improve.
Jones is one of the leading foreign golfers in the history of the Japan Golf Tour and has amassed earnings of over $A12 million there. Since Covid hit that tour in 2020 he has played very few competitive golf tournaments and has in fact been working for a friend in a landscaping business in his hometown of Canberra.
Locals Grace Kim and amateur Kelsey Bennett lead the women in the combined gender event at 5 under and are tied for 6th.
