David Barnett staked a nine-to-one ticket on Harry Higgs to finish inside the top-20 at Sedgefield. Barnett reminded listeners that Higgs has teed it up here four times and already logged a top-20 despite generally poor course form in prior seasons. What swings the value this year, according to Barnett, is trajectory: Higgs has rattled off three straight top-30 finishes (T25, T24, T28) and his iron play is finally perking up—exactly what the wedge-heavy Donald Ross layout demands. Barnett thinks the combination of renewed confidence, positive recent ball-striking and proven comfort on slick Bermuda greens justifies the long 9-1 number for a simple placement bet, especially for bettors who don’t want to chase the 300-1 outright ticket he recommended earlier in the show.

David Barnett fired a 300-1 “nuclear bomb” on Harry Higgs, pointing to Higgs’ recent form line of T25 last week, T24 at Rocket Mortgage and T28 in Mexico, plus a 15th-place finish at Sedgefield two years ago. Barnett added that Higgs’ approach numbers are “looking good again,” giving him the kind of iron form necessary on a wedge-heavy Donald Ross layout. With demonstrated course comfort and a momentum spike, Barnett believes “Big Daddy” can shock the field and pay off lottery-ticket outright bets while providing ultra-low-owned DFS leverage.

Coley recommended 1-point each-way on Harry Higgs at 80/1, emphasizing that the move from driver-heavy Keene Trace to a tighter par-70 should mask Higgs’ weakest club and highlight his strong iron play. The Big Rig has proven he is too good for the Korn Ferry (two 2024 wins) and thrives in lower-grade PGA events: runner-up at Myrtle Beach this spring, 2nd Bermuda 2020, 7th Puerto Rico, 11th Barracuda. Recent stats show above-average putting in three of his last six starts and a solid 24th in Detroit before last week’s MC. Having grown up in Kansas and won in Missouri and Tennessee, Higgs is comfortable in mid-south summer heat, and Coley believes his boom-or-bust profile carries massive upside in “an even weaker field than Myrtle Beach.”

Pat Fitzmaurice called Harry Higgs the ultimate value bomb at 250-to-1, arguing "Big Rig" thrives whenever the star power is thin. Higgs finished runner-up last week, 24th in Detroit, and lost a three-man playoff to Ryan Fox at the Myrtle Beach Classic earlier this spring—three top-25s in his last four weak-field stops. Fitzmaurice highlighted Higgs’ recent surge with the putter (gaining 1.2 strokes per round over his last eight) and his improved driving accuracy, up eight percentage points since April. In a projected shootout, Fitzmaurice believes Higgs’ birdie-making bursts give him a puncher’s chance and make top-20 plus each-way tickets attractive leverage plays.
