Australia's Lucas Herbert dominated the LIV UK event at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester, Staffordshire, finishing 30-under to win by six strokes over England's Tyrrell Hatton. The 30-year-old world number 69 led wire-to-wire and closed with a stunning 10-under 62, the round of the day.

Herbert's 30-under total set a new low for the tour's five-year history, securing his second LIV victory of 2026. American Bryson De Chambeau finished third at 21-under, three shots behind Hatton, who shot a 63 on Sunday.

"I just wanted to carry that into this week the best I could," said Herbert, referencing his tie for sixth at the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale last week. "It was good to play like that today when I was being pushed by two of the best players in the world."

Hatton, winner of the previous LIV event in Andalucia, acknowledged Herbert's brilliance: "Lucas was incredible this week." The Englishman's fast start wasn't enough to match Herbert's historic performance.
