Golf Pro Branden Grace in the 146. British Open a record on. The 29-Year-old plays a near perfect round. For Martin Kaymer it will not, however, is so good.
The South African Branden Grace has put up with a dream round at the British Open is a Golf-a record for eternity. The 29-Year-old completed on the Par-70 course of Royal Birkdale in the English town of Southport as the first Golf professional at a Major tournament, a round to only 62 strokes. In the 441-tournament Major story so far, 31 rounds with 63 strokes, but never a 62. “It feels great, an exceptional round from the beginning,” said Grace. He was on record of course, he did not know: “My Caddy has congratulated me for the record, until then, I had no idea.”
Kaymer missed catching up
On his record-breaking round of Grace on the Par-70 course played at the North West coast of England, eight Birdies. Grace is, since 2007, professional, and to date has won a tournament on the PGA Tour and seven on the European Tour. With a record of the rounds he has experience. He is the Co-record holder on the European Tour since 2012, was his victory in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland, a 60s round.
Germany’s best Golfer Martin Kaymer played his best round in Southport. The 32-Year-old ended his third day on the dunes course with 70 strokes. The good weather he could not exploit but really, to start a comeback. With a total of 214 strokes, the two-time Major winner fell short in a divided 55. Rank back.
