In a dramatic finish to the Corales Punta Cana Championship, South African Garrick Higgo came away with a one-stroke victory to claim his second win on the PGA Tour.
To go with his previous win at the Palmetto Championship in South Carolina in 2021, Higgo had plenty to celebrate after edging his way to a memorable triumph.

'This is unbelievable and this is why I play the game. You know, the journey, I'm going to go through a down again, everybody does, I'm going to have ups. I just truly enjoy the journey,' he said.
