Higgins back on right track after enduring period in the rough

WATERVILLE’S David Higgins is confident his career is back on track having successfully battled illness and loss of form.

He made his mark in three recent back-to-back tournaments on the PGA Irish Region and has also set his sights on the Challenge of Ireland event on the PGA European Challenge Tour and hopefully a few other events on that circuit.

Higgins won the Woodbrook pro-am with a fine round of five under par 67 and a week later came second in windy conditions at Foxrock by shooting one under par. After that he was off to Slieve Russell for the 36-hole tournament at the outstanding Co Cavan venue and again played close to his potential.
