Cannot surge into Lock Zone Herbert carded a two-under 68 in the final round at LIV Golf Chicago to finish the tournament five-under and a five-way tie for sixth. Impact Herbert entered Chicago 12.75 points behind HyFlyers' Brendan Steele for 24th in the LIV Golf individual season standings, which represents the final slot in the Lock Zone and a guaranteed spot in next year's league. Herbert made a late surge for that coveted spot on Championship Sunday, as he made three consecutive birdies from holes 16 to 18 in the final round with two holes to go. Had he finished even-par over the last two holes, he would've accrued enough points to finish ahead of Steele in the individual standings, but Herbert bogeyed the par-4 first hole and made par on the second hole, which knocked him out of the Lock Zone. Herbert will represent Ripper GC alongside Marc Leishman, Matt Jones and captain Cameron Smith at the LIV Golf Team Championship in Dallas next weekend, with the all-Australian foursome receiving a first-round bye as the third seed.
