Callaway Golf – Amazing hat-trick for the brand at European Tour thanks to Branden Grace

Branden-Grace

December 16, 2014 – Callaway Staff Professional Branden Grace has continued the manufacturer’s winning streak on the European Tour courtesy of a convincing seven-shot victory in the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek Country Club, South Africa.

Following wins by Henrik Stenson and Danny Willett in consecutive tournaments, the 2014 Race to Dubai finale and first event of the 2015 European Tour season respectively, the 26-year-old went wire-to-wire with rounds of 62, 66, 72 and 68 to join his Callaway stable mates in the winners’ circle, finishing 20-under par and completing the company’s hat-trick.

Brande-Grace-bagPowered by a full bag of Callaway and Odyssey product, the South African earned his fifth European Tour victory and became the first golfer to secure both Alfred Dunhill titles. Commenting on his win, Branden Grace said: “One of the main things this week has been the driving; I just put a new driver in the bag in Dubai and that’s been the key this week.”

“It’s been a phenomenal week. It’s special to win it wire-to-wire, more so because it’s in front of a local crowd. It was a pretty flawless round today and the perfect way to finish off an incredible tournament.”

Neil Howie, President and Managing Director of Callaway Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: “We are delighted that Branden used the new Big Bertha Alpha 815 Double Black Diamond Driver to such devastating effect this week and became the first player globally to win with it in the bag.” 

“With the ink barely dry on our previous two victories, it’s fantastic to be celebrating both Branden’s fifth European Tour title and the third consecutive Callaway win on The European Tour.”

Grace opened his account as a Callaway Staff Professional in 2012 fresh from The European Tour Qualifying School by becoming just the sixth player in history to win their first two European Tour events in back-to-back tournaments.
