Yesterday we reported that golfers will be mic’d up during this week’s World Super 6 Perth and it appeared to go quite well during round one.
There were no signs of big names like Lee Westwood and Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston chatting to the commentators mid-way through their rounds, but Aussie Lucas Herbert gave some great insight during his interview.

The commentary team initially congratulate him on his approach to the par-5, to which he replies: “What am I looking at? What have I got?”
Herbert discovers from the commentators that he has around 20ft for eagle, before asking “Can I get a read from the commentary box?”

“I had 5 iron, that was 236 yards pin. We got that downwind and it obviously got a good kick,” he said.
“It’s about 350, probably I’ve hit that.”
Herbert went on to hole to the putt for eagle and shoot a four-under-par round of 68.
