HIGGINBOTTOM COASTS TO 2012 RIVERSDALE CUP VICTORY
The Australian Golf Club?s Jake Higginbottom has coasted to victory in the 2012 Riversdale Cup with a 19-under four round total of 269.

Higginbottom, with all four rounds under 70, set the stage for his impressive win with an opening round of 64, a score equaled in yesterday?s final round by McGraw.
