In the morning wave, Garrick Higgo also shone, shooting a 6-under 66. This marks a strong rebound for Higgo, who attributed his success to a swing overhaul initiated with coach Sean Foley. He expressed confidence in his game following a recent competitive round with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
Exciting Plays on the Course
Will Gordon made headlines on the 12th hole, achieving an eagle that relies on skillful shot placement. Currently playing on a medical exemption, Gordon needs to climb into the top 100 to maintain his PGA Tour card status.
