David Higgins continues to ride the crest of a golfing wave after shooting a 66 to lead the Titleist PGA Play-Offs in Turkey.

Fresh from his recent success in securing his Tour card, the 40-year-old is firmly in the hunt for further starts in some of the European Tour’s most lucrative events which a win at Antalya will guarantee.

Among the prizes at stake is entry to the BMW PGA Championship. Defending champion Richard Wallis (Walmer Kingsdown) is only one behind after an opening 67.
