Lucas Herbert finishes top 20 at PGA Travelers Championship

Herbert started the final round of the PGA Tour event at TPC River Highlands four shots off the lead and after carding a one-under fourth round he finished T19, seven-under total.

Herbert had a mixed start on the front-nine and was one-over after five holes, but was able to make birdie on the par-five fifth and par-three eighth to make the turn at one-under.

He found his groove on the par-three 11^th with a stunning tee shot which set himself up for a seven-foot birdie which he knocked in moving to two-under.

However, he lost a shot on the par-five 13^th and moved back to one-under.

On the short 270m par-four 15^th Herbert almost reached the green off the tee, which set himself up for another shot at birdie which he made to move back to two-under for the round.

Herbert then made an unfortunate three-putt for bogey on the par-three 16^th to hand the shot straight back which was then followed by two pars on 17 and 18.

Harris English (-13) was the tournament winner after going head-to-head against Kramer Hickok in a sudden death playoff which lasted eight holes.

The pair both made par on the first seven playoffs, but English was able to make birdie on the eighth to secure victory.

Marc Leishman (-12) was Australia's best finishing outright third, followed by Jason Day (-9) T10, Adam Scott (-8) T13, Cameron Smith (-5) T30, Matt Jones (-4) T36 and Cameron Percy (-2) T54.

Herbert is now scheduled to head across the Atlantic Ocean to compete in this week's European Tour Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.
