Soon-to-be PGA Tour professional makes the ultimate journey oversight with this classic “Tommy Boy” combine-up | This is the Loop

Lucas Herbert was traveling large Sunday night immediately after clinching his PGA Tour card for the initial time. By Monday evening, he was just traveling in the completely wrong route.

The 25-year-old Australian designed the top journey error by displaying up in the mistaken metropolis for this week’s Korn Ferry Tour function. Make that the incorrect state. Actually, make that the fully completely wrong element of the country.

So how did this happen? Seemingly, there’s a Columbus in Georgia as very well as the extra very well-regarded funds of Ohio, which is the site of this week’s Nationwide Children’s Clinic Championship. And seemingly, Herbert combined them up when he booked his flight. Whoops.

This is the two-time European Tour winner speaking about his colossal fall short on Wednesday:

Kudos to him for possessing up to it, because he is likely to be listening to about that for a extended time. And kudos to PGA Tour/Korn Ferry Tour digital content man Kevin Prise for absolutely hammering Herbert with thoughts about his blunder.

And if this situation appears acquainted, which is since it truly is generally a scene from “Tommy Boy”:

Incredible. The worst element for Herbert is that he took the late flight so he was trapped in Columbus, Ga., overnight. Not that you can find nearly anything in Columbus, Ga. I am guaranteed it’s pretty attractive there this time of yr. Nicely, minus the oppressive warmth and humidity.

In any celebration, at the very least Herbert will not pass up his Thursday tee time at the 2nd occasion of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, and he even obtained a nice chuckle out of the encounter. As he acknowledges in the video clip, it’s easy to giggle when you’ve got already locked up your PGA Tour card for future period. But ahead of he makes that leap to the big leagues, he just may possibly want to take into consideration enlisting a journey agent.
