Never-say-die Higgins revels in the heat

DAVID HIGGINS intends to make the most of his chances on the European Tour having gained a new determination after a long and arduous slog away from the limelight last year.

The Irishman shot a six-under-par 66 to share the overnight lead in the Enjoy Jakarta HSBC Indonesia Open with Wang Ter-chang of Taiwan, England’s Simon Dyson and Thai star Thongchai Jaidee.

Higgins’ round included seven birdies and just the one dropped shot in sweltering conditions.
