David Higgins won the inaugural Lexus Race to Mount Juliet in association with PING and Failte Ireland in convincing fashion on Saturday with a blistering round of 7 under par at Mount Juliet - four shots ahead of his nearest rival - Damian Mooney who took second place.
Having won the Irish PGA Order of Merit last year Higgins was the preseason favourite to retain the title and based on his form during the season the victory was deserved at the famous Kilkenny venue – particularly the manner in which he went about it – holing one spectacular bunker shot on the par three fourteenth.
This season David has been very consistent on the Irish PGA Region winning five times - including the Quinn Insurance Pro Am and a second place at the Southern Championship in Powerscourt behind Eamonn Darcy.
