Garrick Higgo lines up his shot on the 5th green during the first round of the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Miss., on Thursday, Oct. 2, 2025.

South Africa's Garrick Higgo followed up his 7-under round of 65 on Thursday with a 66 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead (-13) into the weekend of the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Miss.

Taylor Montgomery carded the low round of the tournament, a 9-under-par 63, and was knotted with Eric Cole at -12, one stroke behind Higgo.

Danny Walker, who started the day tied with Higgo and Cole for the lead, is two shots behind after carding a -4 round of 68.

Higgo, 26, birdied four of the final seven holes at the Country Club of Jackson layout. The former UNLV standout earned his second PGA Tour victory earlier this year in mid-April at the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic.

Three players are tied for fourth place at -10 -- Korea's Tom Kim, Frankie Capan III and Vince Whaley.
