Shriners check puts him at $71,547 and # 50 on the 2023 season money list. Harry & Kelly yet to cash checks in the new season

Austin Smotherman scheduled to compete in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship against a watered down field where Denny McCarthy & Thomas Detry are the favorites. Could be a big opportunity for him

[Charleston Pony]

Harry Higgs joining Austin Smotherman in the Bermuda event and both have morning times tomorrow

[Charleston Pony]

Both of our guys off to a great start this week. Austin the leader in the clubhouse at nine under and Harry right there at minus 7 after completing their 1st rounds

[Charleston Pony]

Austin's 2nd round 4 under has him at 13 under, T-2nd and one shot off the lead. Harry has blown up and is 6 over through 16 holes today so he will miss this cut

[Charleston Pony]

Closing remains an issue as Austin shoots a 3 over 74 today featuring 4 bogeys and only one birdie falling to 10 under and T-23rd, 8 shots off the lead

[Charleston Pony]

Smotherman's final round one under includes 4 birdies offset by 3 bogeys to finish 11 under for the week and T-23rd good for another $56,550

[Charleston Pony]

Austin and Harry will be teeing it up in Mexico this week against a much stronger field than they were competing against last week in Bermuda

[Charleston Pony]

Smotherman's 1st round minus 3 has him T-45th while Harry is T-76th at minus one teetering on the cut line

[Charleston Pony]

Harry just finished a red hot 2nd round nine under 62 featuring 7 birdies and an eagle at the par 4 3rd hole. He's now at minus 10 and currently T-2nd 3 shots off the lead

Auston double bogeys # 1 and # 7 on his way to a 0ne over 72 today and appears he could miss the cut at minus 2 for his 1st 36 holes (one shot off the projected cut line with several players still on the course)

[Charleston Pony]

Harry off to a rough Saturday start with one birdie and one bogey to remain even and minus 10 thru 6 holes. He's fallen to T-20th and now 7 shots off the lead. Needs a strong finish today to have any hope of playing his way into contention

[Charleston Pony]

Birdies at 7 & 8 have Harry at minus 12 and now T-8th but still 7 shots off the lead. Two under front nine in the books so he needs to stay hot on the back which he played 4 under yesterday
