Harry Higgs spoke to the media after and incredible end to the Korn Ferry Tour’s AdventHealth Championship. Higgs eagled from 83 yards out to force a playoff with Tanner Gore, then won with a birdie on the first playoff hole.

yeah it feels great uh winning is very difficult golf is a stupid game um but to do it here is very very sweet especially 5 years ago roughly probably to the day I fell just a shot short so it was very nice I mean I had some very very fortunate things happen there towards the end um but thrilled to get it done here I tried my best to soak it all in but I was just I really got into a good place today where I was just I real honestly boring stuff focusing on my breast and trying to keep my heart rate down and trying not to get too excited seeing all these folks that I know and love um I I had a horrible lie uh and I was trying to land it I think about 15 yards further onto the green than it than it actually did uh with it being a bad lie obviously it was going to come out with quite a bit of Top Spin and I didn’t think I hit it hard enough to land it on the green I don’t even know where it landed uh but it came out with Top Spin and it it came once it landed it was rolling quick so I figured it was going to be up there uh probably within 10 12 feet of the hole and then the Roars got louder and louder and louder and I was we were already walking ahead I was thinking why are they screaming why why there’s no way there’s no way and then I guess it dropped and they freaked out uh and then I also freaked out U so I had to get back into the breathing and control my heart rate um trying not to freak out too much um signed my card hit a few balls and then I was fortunate it broke my way uh that I’d have a chance in in a playoff um for sure Tanner who I just met um played some unbelievable golf uh with a two-shot lead to do what he did today uh you know takes a lot of medal for somebody that Monday qualified into the event uh so I’ll credit to him but I felt like I probably should have apologized to him before we teed off uh but that’s just it golf’s hard winnings hard stupid stuff happens I was just lucky that the stupid stuff happened to me it’s difficult for me who has played at a no disrespect but a higher level than this to be knocked down but it’s okay to be humbled and you know I was certainly humbled and I needed to and I’m still going to need to do it I have not dealt with success well in the past I gotten maybe complacent and just thought well I’ve been hitting good shots I’m just going to keep doing that no I was hitting good shots for a reason so I I need to make sure that I focus on those things that I have focused on you know this week and then also it’s okay if it doesn’t work out as I wish you know take a freaking deep breath and move on um so I think I’ve got a nice little plan and I’m really looking forward to wherever it may be this year working that plan and seeing it how it how it Stacks up right um and it’s yeah it’s okay to be humbled I’m I’m cool however this path goes um but I I have some things I want to achieve in this game and and the result which doesn’t really matter but it’s nice to get the result that I got certainly makes it easier on the path to working to achieve what I want to achieve
