Ospreys Sit in Fourth Heading Into Final Round

SKOKIE, Ill. - Robbie Higgins put on a clinic during the opening rounds at Northwestern, as he turned in nine birdies through 36 holes to sit atop the player's leaderboard at the Windon Memorial Classic on Monday evening.

Higgins only had one hole that was worse than par after two rounds of play in Skokie, Ill. He has his sights set on his first-career medalist crown after finishing as the runner-up in two spring tournaments last season, including the ASUN Championship.

North Florida men's golf currently stands as the fourth-best team heading into the final round of the tournament at Evanston Golf Club.
