Garrick Higgo delivered an impressive performance on Saturday, shooting an 11-under-par 61 to tie the course record at El Cardonal at Diamante. His round was enough to secure a one-shot lead heading into the final round of the World Wide Technology Championship.
Higgo’s round featured a combination of precise ball striking and consistent putting, allowing him to take advantage of favorable conditions at the Los Cabos, Mexico, course designed by Tiger Woods. Tying the course record highlighted a standout day for the South African golfer, who will look to carry the momentum into Sunday’s final round.
His nearest competitor, Carson Young, also put together a strong performance to sit just one stroke back of the lead. Young will be in the final group on Sunday, aiming to secure his first PGA Tour title.
The World Wide Technology Championship has been contested at El Cardonal for the first time this year, making the shared course record particularly notable. Designed by Tiger Woods’ TGR Design, the par-72 layout features wide fairways and strategic bunkering, offering opportunities for low scores but demanding precision.
The leaderboard remains competitive, with several players within striking distance in the tightly packed field. With one round remaining, the tournament is set up for a compelling finish.
Higgo, who has one prior PGA Tour victory, will be looking to add another title to his resume. His previous win came at the 2021 Palmetto Championship, and a strong finish could help bolster his status on tour heading into the new season.
Sunday’s final round will determine who walks away with the trophy, as players look to take advantage of the scoring conditions at El Cardonal. The final groups are expected to tee off in the early afternoon local time.
