Golf lover Donald Trump was in the house as Lucas Herbert held his nerve to claim his maiden LIV Golf League title and secure a priceless ticket back to the US Open in New York.
Herbert had a five-shot final-round lead slashed to one before regaining his composure to see off the challenge of Spanish great Sergio Garcia after a 22-minute rain delay in a dramatic climax to LIV Golf Virginia.
Too ill to complete a full practice round before the mega-money event, Herbert showcased all his character and grit in closing with a roller-coaster three-under-par 69 to win by four shots and collect a life-changing $US4 million ($A5.54 million) winner's cheque.
