Grace claims Dunhill Championship

  • Intro:

    Home favourite Branden Grace wins his first European Tour title in two years thanks to a seven-shot victory at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa. Englishman Danny Willett finishes tied in fourth with South African Trevor Fisher Junior.

    Script:

    Briton Danny Willett trailed by three shots going into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa on Sunday.

    The 27-year-old was in contention for a repeat of his Nedbank Challenge victory last weekend but a double-bogey on the 16th saw him drop six shots in the final three holes. Willett's 76 resulted in him being tied for fourth with South African Trevor Fisher Junior.

    Home favourite Louis Oosthuizen started the day sixth on 10 under and rose to finish runner-up after a 13-under 69.

    Seven shots ahead in first place was compatriot Branden Grace, who landed his first European Tour title in two years. The 26-year-old earned his spots at Leopard Creek Country Club.

    Grace had been five clear at the halfway stage after following a sparkling opening 62 with a round of 66.

    The Pretoria-born golfer recorded a tournament total of 20-under-par 268 to secure the first ever wire-to-wire win in the competition's history.
