In the season opening Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship last week, in which Herbert contended

But it took an early morning Zoom chat with his Peregian coach Dom Azzopardi to sort out a few teething problems with the booming new driver.
“He was losing a few right with this driver in practice and I talked to him about what’s going to cause that in his technique, particularly now that he’s got the ball further forward,” Azzopardi said.
