Wins in Punta Cana
April 20, 2025
Higgo won the Corales Puntacana Championship by one stroke following an even-par 72 in the final round.
ANALYSIS
The Corales Golf Course played tricky at times this week due to the gusty winds. Sunday was really tricky with Higgo battling it out with several other players. The toughest holes were down the stretch and while Higgo played the final six in two-over, that was better Joel Dahmen at four-over on the last six, who was in control for much of the week. Six players ended up at 13-under-par, but a key par on 18 put Higgo at 14-under. For the South African it was his second win on the PGA Tour, but first since the 2021 Palmetto Championship in which he also won by one stroke over six other players. Higgo was coming off a T3 finish on the Korn Ferry Tour. He had played in just two PGA Tour events so far in 2025, but he'll now be exempt for the rest of this year plus two more seasons. It'll also put him into the next signature event in a couple weeks at the Truist Championship.
