Whakakiia te kīanga e whai ake nei: I muri i te wikitoria i ngā tukinga e toru hei tohu mō te
Australian Goldfields Open, Higginson ngaro 5<unk>3 ki Ricky Walden i roto i te rauna tuatahi, a ka hinga ia i roto i te taua wāhanga o te International Championship 6<unk>4 e Liang Wenbo. I te Gdynia Open, i hinga a Higginson i nga kaitakaro e rima ki te eke ki te haurua whakamutunga, engari i ngaro ia 4 × 2 ki a Mark Selby. I kite tenei i a ia e mutu ana i te 15 i runga i te Order of Merit me te tohu mo te Whakamutunga Nui, i reira i patu ai ia e 4 × 1 na Matthew Selt. Kaore a Higginson i wikitoria i tetahi tukinga i tetahi huihuinga rangatira mo te wa tuaono i tenei waa i te wa i ngaro ai ia i te 5 <unk> 3 ki a Yuan Sijun i te rauna Wildcard o te China Open. I haere tonu tana hinganga o te reanga i a ia e noho ana i te 56 o te ao.
