He rebuilt his mechanics to protect a balky hip, choosing fitness changes over surgery.

Overview

  • Higgo reached 18 under with a six-birdie, one-bogey 67 at the Country Club of Jackson to lead after 54 holes.
  • Americans Steven Fisk and Danny Walker sit two back in a tie for second after rounds of 65 and 67, respectively.
  • Higgo said he will attack on Sunday, vowing to play as if he is trailing to chase birdies.
