Higgins storms up leaderboard after sizzling 64

David Higgins found his putting touch to fire a sensational six under 64 on the Tour Course and get within two shots of the lead after the second round of the marathon European Tour Qualifying School final stage at the PGA Catalunya Resort.

As Douglas’ Peter O’Keeffe came back from the dead by following his opening 81 with a five under 65 to keep alive his hopes of making the cut tomorrow, 39-year-old Higgins made six birdies in an immaculate round to share seventh place on five under par.

Getting back on tour would be a dream come true for the Waterville man but he knows he must continue to hole the putts as he chases a place among the top 25 and ties will be awarded tour cards at the end of the gruelling, six-round test.
