Sky Sports Golf pundit Gary Christian said he was very impressed with Brandon Graces’ all round game last weekend at the RBC Heritage Open.
Christian told Sky Sports : “It was Branden Grace who took the title after a testing four days in blustery conditions on the South Carolina coast, and his final-round 66 was clinical. He played the best on the final day and won the tournament, and that’s how it should be.
“Branden was the stand-out player from the last five groups, and his mindset was particularly impressive. He played aggressively to get the lead, and once in front, his course-management was superb on the back nine. He birdied 11 and 12 and made a number of sensible, stress-free pars – his only blemish coming at the 17th when he bunkered his tee shot and missed a six-footer for par.
“The Harbour Town Golf Links is a tough course when the conditions are firm and fast like we saw, and it’s even tougher when you have to chase. But defending a lead by playing cautiously is also easier said than done, so what Branden Grace achieved certainly consolidates his credentials as a world-class golfer.”
