Lucas Herbert is enjoying a purple patch in his career and once again the Australian has taken advantage of his red-hot form to be in contention at LIV Golf New York.
The 30-year-old fired a five-under 66 in Bedminster on Friday to move within two of leader Joaquin Niemann after the opening round.
In spite of finding the rough with his drive at the last, Herbert birdied the par-five 18th to close in on playing partner Niemann who made par.
