David Higgins named PGA Cup vice-captain

David Higgins admits the PGA Cup holds a special place in his heart after being named as Cameron Clark’s second vice-captain for the match against America in Texas next year. Irishman Higgins was one of the standout performers as Great Britain and Ireland comfortably beat the United States at Foxhills Club and Resort in September 2017. The 45-year-old claimed three-and-half points on his PGA Cup debut as Albert MacKenzie’s side secured back-to-back victories over their American counterparts. Higgins will join up with fellow former European Tour player Rob Coles as vice-captain to Clark as Great Britain and Ireland bid to make history by winning three consecutive matches in the competition at Barton Creek Resort in Austin, Texas, from September 27-29.
