While Greiner was granted the week off by his boss, Alex Higgs chose to work for his brother, who was making his majors debut, and booked a Friday night flight to Seattle, where the championship is held, that was set to depart at 6:45 p.m., just in case his brother didn’t make the cut.
Harry Higgs siblings: Meet brother Alex Higgs
Harry Higgs was a four-year member of the Southern Methodist University Mustangs.
When he was a senior at SMU, his brother Alex Higgs caddied for him.
In 2014, he earned a bachelor’s degree in Sport Management.
“If you hit this ball in the bunkers, I’ll make you a cocktail tonight,” Alex urged his brother on the dangerous water-laden 17th hole.
Harry followed the directions, keeping it dry to the left, and birdied it from 59 feet off the green.
Harry was rewarded with a Tito’s and some water for his efforts.
Alex should make it a double because his brother added a 64-foot birdie on 18 to make it a triple.
