Herbert shot a final two-under round (69) at the Port Royal Golf Course to secure the victory, one shot over Patrick Reed and Danny Lee, at -15 total.

The win at Bermuda came with plenty of challenges in the way of wind and rain, but the 25-year-old maintained his composure.

"I felt like I grinded really well early and I had the right attitude going into the day that it wasn't going to be easy," Herbert said during the winner's press conference.

"You just knew it was going to be one of those days where you had to battle really, really hard. Under-par was going to be a great score."

Herbert took the the lead on the par-four 14^th after sinking a 30-foot birdie putt.

From there he was able to finish the round with four consecutive pars to secure the title.

"This finishing stretch kind of played into my hands a little bit," he said.

"I felt like probably the strengths of my game - the longer game, whether it be long irons or 3-woods, drivers off tee - I felt like that really played in my wheelhouse.

"So I just tried to really stay positive with the swings."

The win is Herbert's third professional career victory and will now see him within the world's top-50 golfers, which opens the door to an invite to the 2022 Masters.

More to come.
