You keep your thoughts as present as you can, which is impossible, but you do your best to stay as present as you can. And then it takes nine, 12, 15 holes of no thought, you hit it right where you’re looking every time and you hole a couple putts. HH: It takes 27 to 36 holes of good “bad” golf, even if you win a 72-hole event, almost half of it is gonna be a little scrappy. ZM: What’s it take to win out here? I know you haven’t gotten there yet, but what will it take? I believe that I’m better and I’m gonna work and think and do everything I can to be better than them, so I can show myself that I was correct there. I just looked up at the guys I was playing mini tour and development tour golf with and at some point I said, “No offense to those guys, but I’m better than them.

It was that kind of day at the course for the hefty cult hero, but as we found out, Higgs’ celebration is bound to be a one and done. “You know it’s bad when Hideki comes up to you on the range and lifts his shirt,” Higgs said. And even some fellow pros got in on the action.Īs defending Masters champ Hideki Matsuyama readied to hit balls next to Higgs, he turned and lifted his shirt in jest. Everyone from swing instructors to gear reps approached Higgs to chat about his antics in the desert. The 30-year-old spent much of a blustery day at Riv’ grinding on the range in preparation for his second career start here, but he waded through plenty of interruptions. Fresh off his viral, half-naked celebration on Sunday, Higgs was the main attraction when he stepped on property for this week’s Genesis Invitational - at least among fellow Tour pros.
