Lucas Herbert, by nature, is not one to be short on competitive motivation, yet at this week’s ISPS Handa Australian Open, the Bendigo professional has numerous sources from which to draw inspiration.
Lucas Herbert has revealed his disappointment in not being selected for a captain’s pick at the recent Presidents Cup in the US, but says he’s moved on and is eager to use the Australian summer of golf to shoot up the world rankings in time to receive a Masters invitation.
