Lucas Herbert has won one title on the PGA Tour, which came at the 2021 Butterfield Bermuda Championship. He carded a two-under 69 in the Sunday round to finish at 15 under and beat Danny Lee and Patrick Reed by a single-stroke margin.
Herbert sank four birdies and two bogeys in the final round amid the tough weather conditions at the Port Royal Golf Club in Southampton, Bermuda, which were plagued by high winds and occasional rain.
During the post-round interview, Herbert said he loved playing in challenging conditions, which made everyone play better. He was quoted as saying via Golf Channel:
"It eliminates the guys who maybe aren't as good who are hitting shots that don't get affected by wind or rain as much. I just enjoyed the struggle out there today. There were times where we were nearly sitting on the ground behind an umbrella and just embracing that was so much fun."
