It was an up and down day for Thomas Higgins at the Irish Open in Doonbeg. A birdie and an eagle helped him to two under par after 9 and in the top 15.

However he slipped back on the back 9 and a couple of double bogeys didn't help. He finished his round on 4 over 74 .
The conditions worsened as the day went on but he plays tomorrow in round 2 at about 3pm.

Best of luck again Thomas!!

"You're doing something right if you are surrounded by those guys. It's brilliant, a great experience. I had a nice practice round with Harrington and Lowry on Monday, a nice nine holes. It was just great to play with them and learn a bit."

Well done to all.
