Higgo goes for the victory: Aggressive leader at Sanderson Farms Championship

3 Min Read

In a standout performance, Garrick Higgo achieved an impressive round of 67 strokes, five under par, solidifying his position as leader with a two-stroke advantage at the Sanderson Farms Championship. Higgo is preparing for the final round at the Country Club of Jackson with a bold strategy.

I’m going to play as if I’m behind tomorrow and be as aggressive as I can, making as many birdies as possible.

The South African golfer has overcome a labrum injury after winning an event in the Dominican Republic. After considering hip surgery, he opted for a change in his exercise routine, reducing weight and focusing on a smarter strategy. Steven Fisk and Danny Walker share second place in the leaderboard. Fisk, with his second consecutive round of 65 strokes, and Walker, with 67 strokes, remain firm in the competition.

Just play like I have in the last three days. It’s hard to say with what Garrick does. He could get away. I can’t do anything about it. If I keep playing like I am and maybe make one or two less mistakes, I think that would take care of it.

Unlike other players in the Fall Series event, Higgo’s position in the FedEx Cup has little relevance, as he has already secured his PGA Tour card and his participation in The Players Championship. Fall Series events no longer award invitations to the Masters. Only the top 100 players will retain their full PGA Tour cards after the Fall Series concludes in November, with five tournaments remaining on the schedule. Walker is in 104th place in the FedEx Cup, while Fisk is in 135th place.

Really in control of the driver and hit a lot of fairways. I just tried to pick my spots and where I can be aggressive and where I just need to play for par.

Taylor Montgomery, with a total of 15 under par, and Matt Kuchar, along with Frankie Capan III and Vince Whaley, also stood out in the competition. Higgo birdied holes 14 and 15 to reach 18 under par, and then parred the final two holes.

I’d say it was a good fight. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I mean, it’s never easy. Golf never really goes your way. I stayed patient and tried to make good swings and tried to roll the ball as best I could.

It seems like I’m playing well. I think we all try to stay patient. Some weeks are easier than others.
