"It was a fantastic day," said Hebert. "I played very solid all day long. It's been a long time since it has been like this.
"I played well all day, so I'm very happy."
Hebert's compatriot Raphael Jacquelin was among those tied for second on six under, alongside Sam Horsfield, Poland's Adrian Meronk, German Bernd Ritthammer, Finland's Kalle Samooja and Scottish pair Calum Hill and Connor Syme.
