On Friday, June 7, Lucas Herbert had a hot mic moment at LIV Golf Houston, where he was caught swearing during the first round of the event.

Herbert is at the Golf Club of Houston this week for LIV Golf Houston, which will conclude on Sunday, June 9. In the opening round, Herbert carded a 3-under 69 and tied for 15th, four strokes behind the lead.

During the first round of LIV Golf Houston, Lucas Herbert missed a birdie putt on the par-4 third hole as the ball drifted a little to the right of the hole. After missing it from a close distance, he yelled the 'F word' so loudly that it was easily caught by the mic. The clip of the incident was shared by Flushing It on X.

Fans on social media had a fun reaction to Lucas Herbert's hot mike moment. Here's a look at some of the responses:

"Who's gonna censor them," one fan asked.

"Swearing, But Louder," another fan wrote.

"It’s ok. No one is watching," this user wrote.

"I mean, I don’t think it’s gonna offend the 70 people watching," one user posted.

"It's not the golf we want, but it's golf we deserve," another user wrote.

"LIV Golf trolls are so funny because younsee similar numbers with PGAT events. Also, golfers swear every time and this is a live broadcast with people mic"d up. How then do get a chance to sensor that? You can't tell me you have not heard people swear on other tours," this fan commented.
