After weather interruptions on Thursday and Friday, Herbert finished his opening round on Saturday before returning to the course later that day for round two.

Starting at two-under Herbert was faced with brutal weather for round two which included fluctuating temperatures, high winds and rain.

Herbert started the round with a bogey on the par-four first, followed by a birdie on the par-five second.

Sitting at even-par he then made six straight pars before encountering trouble on the par-five ninth with a triple-bogey eight after a wayward tee shot.

After a par on the par-four 10th, he made back-to-back birdies on the 11th and 12th to move back to one-over for the day.

On the par-four 15th a three-putt would move him back to two-over before he carded another birdie on the par-five 16th.

Faced with diminishing daylight, next up was the infamous par-three 17th island green.

Despite endless players finding trouble on the hole, Herbert breezed through with a par but then dropped back to two-over on the 18th.

Herbert was even-par overall (T55) after round two, however, 96 players in the field are still yet to complete their second rounds. Cut line was even-par at time of publication.
