DeChambeau responds to Lucas Herbert breaking his | Golf News

Lucas Herbert’s exceptional victory at LIV Golf UK left Bryson DeChambeau unable to mount a problem and resulted in one of his information being damaged.

Herbert got here close to claiming the trophy at Royal Birkdale during the ultimate major of the season before securing the title at LIV Golf following their 7-week break. Herbert’s $4 million particular person triumph at the JCB course in England was launched by an opening 11-under-par 61 and sealed with a closing 62.

“I mean, I felt like I played pretty good enough to at least give myself a chance,” said DeChambeau. “I thought I played pretty well. 9-under, 10-under in the final round out here, I didn’t see that happening. But Tyrrell and Lucas, they’re playing in a league of their own right now.

“I felt like I’ve been enjoying fairly good, too. I beat, I suppose, fourth place by 4 pictures, and Lucas beat top 5 by 16 pictures. I do not assume that’s ever been executed in golf historical past. It was fairly wonderful.”

DeChambeau competed alongside Herbert for three rounds and compared the display to his own commanding victory at Greenbrier three years ago. “Yeah, I noticed those rounds, and that’s what it felt like,” DeChambeau said.

“It felt like he was just invincible. Every time we thought we had a probability he just made a putt or hit a shot in there close. That’s some stellar golf. Fair play to him.”

DeChambeau made his major cut this season at the 2026 Open Championship, briefly climbing to second place before a two-stroke penalty dropped him down the leaderboard, ultimately finishing at T-14.

“I ponder what the strokes gained values are from him and Tyrrell and whatnot because I undoubtedly felt like I performed better, and the breaks just did not go my manner this past week, sadly,” said DeChambeau.

“I performed nicely the first spherical, then ever since then, I felt like I could not get something falling my manner. On 15 I hit a great putt and the wind pushed it and it got here up short. I’m like, okay, issues just did not fall my manner. That’s a half of golf. Congrats to Lucas and Tyrrell. They performed actually good. I have not seen that in a long time.

“I think being 21-under par for two rounds is quite a feat.”

Herbert also shattered league information, accumulating an extraordinary 30 birdies throughout the competitors and posting a exceptional mixed complete of 32 birdies and eagles.
