Lucas Herbert recently recalled Tiger Woods' 2009 visit to Kingston Heath as one of his "favorite memories." Herbert is on the top of the leaderboard after two rounds at the 2024 ISPS Handa Australian Open, held at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne.
In 2009, Tiger Woods competed in the JBWere Australian Masters. He won the tournament by two strokes ahead of Greg Chalmers. Recalling Tiger Woods' 2009 appearance, Herbert shared that the course's firm and crisp conditions, with balls bouncing and rolling, impressed him. He said (via the Australian Open's Instagram):
"So many of my memories are from whether we're playing Panit here when it's firm or even watching Tiger back in 2009 play here when it was just firm and crisp and balls bouncing and rolling.
