Garrick Higgo

[bigred90gt]

Haven’t seen anything posted about him yet, but how good is this kid? 21 years old, 3 wins, 2 of them in the last 3 weeks. Destroyed the field this week. I think this kid is gonna do big things.

Calm down it’s euro event let’s see how he does in the PGA championship in a couple weeks. If he is good as you say he is might be worth a 50 dollar wager to win it.

This shot wasn’t bad ; )

Gotta give the kids some love he stands on the correct side of the ball😃

[MikeW2]

He’s definitely played some pretty good golf lately. Long of the tee, controls his irons, and putts well. I’ve enjoyed watching him the last few weeks.

I love how people think it’s easy to win on the euro tour just because it’s not the pga tour. Whatever you say man.
 

I know for me, given the option, I’d play the euro tour over pga tour without question, and I’m as proud American as they come. 

[DArnie]

He definitely has the "it" factor and one heck of a game. I would think he will be one of the best in the world. Time will tell but he looks to have one heck of a future.

I’m just saying whenever people have the chance to jump ship they do look at Tom Lewis, Matt Wallace, and Fredrick Van Rooyen and next year probably Christiaan Bezuidenhout.

Lol copy and paste came in diff text. But I would do same thing. Honestly we shouldn’t down play euro tour, talent level really is solid, and I wouldn’t say less than PGA, probably just not as deep. The purses are smaller, that’s why they come to the US, and it will be great to see how Higgo and a guy like Catlin do over the next year as they gain exemptions into larger events. Higgo has incredible length, and putts lights out. I wouldn’t set the expectations too high, but it is worth noting Kiawah will be windy and he has proven his ability to win in the wind. If I had to guess they’ll throw him in the +4000  range.

Didn’t Keegan Bradley win in his first major appearance maybe this guy is the next one

Has he ever gone by Fred as a pro? 

[iBanesto]

Higgo is 76 under par in his last 4 tournaments.

 

I don't care if he was playing in some 3rd tier tour or even junior tournaments.

 

That's scoring is ridiculous.

How many events have you won in the last 3 weeks playing against 144 plus 5 handicaps or better?

 

I love the fact that if they don't win on the PGA Tour then they really aren't that good.

 

Abe Ancer won on the Australasian Tour but hasn't won on the PGA Tour I guess he's not going to amount to that much.

 

Matt Wallace has had a couple of top 10's in his last 4 events....

Im an avid Euro tour watcher and can honestly say Higgo is the most impressive player ive seen on the Euro tour for a long time, he can spray it a little sometimes with the driver but apart from that he doesn't have any weaknesses, and yes the fields havent been as strong lately but look at his scores, looking forward to see what he can do in a stacked field

[MattM97]

Up and coming lefty with talent. 

 

[dbleag]

Higgo and Catlin plus some recent cool-looking courses have made the European Tour even more interesting to watch. 

 

I'm a big fan. Their commentating is far superior to Jim Nancy and Sir Faldo.

I cant watch Catlin, makes Web Simpson look elegant

[Skydiver22]

Couldn't sleep on Sat night so I watched the Euro tour... when the commentator said on 11 or 12 that he was 65 under in the last three tourneys.... I almost hyperventilated...

The announcers are definitely better...relaxed, conversational, insightful just better in every way.

Overstates it but there is a point there.

 

Also what is the relevance of people on this forum competing with pros, might as well delete tour talk if that's the standard.

[BallerNate]

Just finished watching his 3rd win last night, and Higgo looks like the real deal for sure. Has all the tools, and looks very poised and polished for his age.
 

Winning by 6 strokes and dominating the field at only 21 yrs old (now 22) is extremely impressive, and what stood out to me was how confident and loose he stayed on those last 2 Sundays. Definitely has a chance to be very good!

[iBanesto]

It's amazing how some players learn to win very quickly such as Higgo whilst many good players take a while to get their 1st win.

 

Congratulations to Higgo on his 1st PGA Tour win.
