Winner: Branden Grace
Around the wider world of golf: Minjee Lee won her second LPGA event at the LOTTE Championship; Andrew Johnston got his first ET win at the Real Club Valderrama Open de España; Woody Austin got his second Champions Tour win in three starts at the Mitsubishi Electric Classic; K.T. Kim got his 11th Japan Golf Tour title at the Token Homemade Cup; Madelene Sagstrom got her first Symetra Tour win at the Chico’s Patty Berg Memorial; Lyle Rowe got his second Sunshine Tour victory at the Golden Pilsener Zimbabwe Open; and Anthony Paolucci got his first PGA TOUR Latinoamérica win at the 85th Abierto OSDE del Centro.
I'm not the superstitious kind. But evidently, if you want to win the RBC Heritage, you need to be three-4 shots off the lead after 3 rounds, now not the leader. Five of the last six winners have all come from that some distance again -- simplest Carl Pettersson gained from the lead, returned in 2012. Brandt Snedeker absolutely got here from 6 again in 2011.
This "Leader's Curse" has bitten Luke Donald 3 times now. At least this time he may want to see it as a positive, since it method his sport is lower back on track after a hard 2015.
For Branden Grace, but, it's simply some other instance of ways he plays. After ten wins global and multiple Top5s at majors ultimate 12 months, it appeared like only a count number of time before he seized his first PGA Tour win. A tight windy path in Georgia grew to become out to be simply the showplace for his talents. It likely felt like home for the South African, who's used to playing tough publications at home and in Australia. He said Ernie Els instructed him that this is an event wherein he may want to have more than one wins.
Ernie need to realize. Branden came via his golf foundation, just like Louis Oosthuizen.
Those people who watch the European Tour had been impressed by Grace for a while now. He already had a win on the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters earlier this yr, but multi-win seasons were commonplace for him. And after his fantastic showing at the US Open ultimate year, you now must pencil him in as a favourite for this year as nicely.
For Branden Grace it appears that evidently the tougher the route, the better he likes it. I just wish he would not mind the benefit with which he receives this Limerick Summary...
You need to speak ?Grace under hearth??
His inventory rises higher and higher
With each new event
