David Higgins claims title at The Oxfordshire

Ireland’s David Higgins withstood the charging Andy Raitt to run out a convincing winner of the Titleist & FootJoy PGA Professional Championship at The Oxfordshire yesterday.

The Waterville Links pro carded his second 66 of the week to post a 15 under par total of 273 and three stroke victory over Raitt who fired a 67.

Higgins admitted to a few nerves but any jitters were alleviated by a devastating burst of birdies around the turn with gains at 10, 12, 13 and 14 helping him to a six under par final round.
