Home star Higgins all out to turn it on

DAVID HIGGINS tees it up at the Irish Open, presented by Discover Ireland, tomorrow confident he can parlay his Irish PGA Order of Merit lead into a strong European Tour showing.

The Waterville pro and former European Tour member will be on familiar ground at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club this week as he puts aside his Irish PGA campaign for a few days and mixes it with the elite.

“I am looking forward to it,” said the 38-year-old.
