In-form Higgins secures victory at The Heritage

David Higgins (Waterville) carded rounds of 68 and 75 to win The Heritage Challenge Pro-Am on Monday.
The 42-year-old fired a four-under-par 68 on Sunday to take a one shot lead over Colm Moriarty after the opening day of play.

With the weather conditions taking a turn for the worst overnight, the experienced Co Kerry based professional dug deep to grind out a second round three-over-par 75 on Monday.

His two round total of one-under-par gave him a two shot victory over Colm Moriarty (Drive Golf Performance).

Elm Park's Dara Lernihan finished alone in third place on three over but had the consolation of guiding his playing partners to victory in the team competition with a 168 point total.
For Higgins this was his third victory of the year and takes him to the top of the Order of Merit standings.
