Brandon Grace has won his maiden PGA Tour title last weekend at the RBC Heritage after beating Luke Donald and Russell Knox.
Grace started the day with back-to-back birdies on the first and second hole to get him to six under par for the championship to sit one off Donald.
The South African then bogeyed the fourth hole, but more back-to-back birdies on the fifth and sixth drew him level at the top of the leaderboard. Grace took the lead when he carded a birdie on the ninth hole.
Things started slowly on the back nine as the 27-year-old could only card two pars. But on the 12th and 13th, he shot two birdies to get to 10 under par for the tournament, but a bogey on the 17th didn’t stop him from winning the title.
Grace told Tim Barter at the Sky Cart: “It’s awesome and is something I have dreamt of.
“I’ve been out here over the past couple of years and have given myself some chances, so this is great.
“I played some flawless golf, even with two bogeys, but it was a tough day out there and you just had to grind it out.
“This is pretty much where it (form) started last year for me, as I had my first top-10 here on the PGA Tour last year and then it just kicked off.
“I was in a really good frame of mind coming in to this event and I’m now excited to see how the year turns out.”
