Lucas Herbert has openly admitted his struggles with anxiety before during his successful career -- but he's now ready to embrace the utmost pressure as he faces up to the biggest weekend of his golfing life as the British Open leader.
The 30-year-old Victorian will tee off last at Royal Birkdale on Saturday, leading the 154th British Open after delivering a record-equalling major championship low round of 62 in the second round on Friday.
"There's plenty of anxiety and whatnot with the position that I'm in, and what comes with it, but I didn't enter this tournament to not experience those feelings," said Herbert, who walked away from the game for a while three years ago with mental exhaustion while unhappy with how the game was affecting his well-being.
