PGA Tour: Herbert draws Schauffele, Finau and Kanaya at WGC Match Play

Herbert has been drawn into group seven which includes Olympic gold medallist in Schauffele, Tony Finau and Takumi Kanaya.

Herbert's campaign begins in the early hours of Thursday morning (3.21AM AEDT) at the Austin Country Club where he will play Finau in round one, before returning on Friday for round two against Schauffele (1.42AM AEDT), followed by Kanaya in round three.

The WGC event field features 64 golfers who have been split into 16 groups - with only one player from each advancing to the weekend sudden-death knockout stage.

The tournament is being held on the par 71 Peter Dye-designed course which features undulating turf, pot bunkers and water.
