Higgo seizes 2nd round lead at Sanderson Farms C'ship

South African Garrick Higgo conjured eight birdies in a six-under par 66 to seize the solo lead after Friday's second round at the US PGA Tour Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi.

- 

Higgo, part of a four-way tie for the lead after the first round, mixed four birdies and two bogeys on the front nine at the Country Club of Jackson, then picked up four birdies coming in to build a 13-under par total of 131.

He was one stroke in front of overnight co-leader Eric Cole, who carded a five-under 67 and was joined on 132 by fellow American Taylor Montgomery, who posted an impressive 63.

Danny Walker, another of the first-round co-leaders, posted a four-under 68 for 133.

Higgo is chasing a second title of the season, but it's been a mixed bag since his victory in the Corales Puntacana Championship in April.
