SYDNEY (AP) -Australian teenager Jake Higginbottom has announced his
decision to turn professional, only two days after his breakthrough
victory at the New Zealand Golf Open.
The 19-year-old Higginbottom
had to forego the $72,000 winner's cheque after winning the New Zealand
tournament by a shot from compatriots Peter Wilson and Jason Norris.
He
will make his professional debut at the New South Wales PGA
Championship at the Mount Broughton course in New South Wales state from
Thursday.
Higginbottom will also be in the field for the
Australian Open at Sydney's Lakes course next week and the Australian
PGA championships at Coolum in December.
