Final Qualifying: Shot 70-67 at Duke University Golf Club in Durham, N.C., on June 3
Higgs will make his U.S. Open debut after surviving a 6-for-2 playoff at the Duke University Golf Club final qualifier. Higgs posted 3-under 137, then birdied the first two playoff holes to advance. Will come into the U.S. Open fresh off consecutive wins on the Korn Ferry Tour at the AdventHealth Championship and Visit Knoxville Open, both in playoffs over Tanner Gore and Frankie Capan III, respectively. Higgs also won the 2019 Price Cutter Charity Championship on the KFT. His other professional victory came in the 2018 Diners Club Peru Open on PGA Tour Latinoamerica. While this will be his first U.S. Open, Higgs did tie for fourth in the 2021 PGA Championship on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island (S.C.), which landed him a spot in the 2022 Masters, where he tied for 14th. His younger brother, Alex, used to be a professional golfer, but now is a caddie. Higgs played at Southern Methodist University.
