"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.

The final day is a knockout tournament comprising of six-hole matches.
