Branden Grace, coming into the Nedbank at no. 15 in the OWGR, is poised to dominate the field.

Branden Grace showed the golf world what he’s made of last summer at Chambers Bay and it was an impressive demonstration of golfing skill and endurance.

I see Grace as an emerging power on the international stage and I’m looking for some big play from him this season. The fact that Gary Player likes Grace’s game speaks volumes.  Player certainly knows a championship-level game when he sees one.

If Grace is in form, he’ll combine a powerful long game with very skillful putting and that’s a winning combination for any golf course, especially so at Player’s Sun City. Grace will also be playing with the confidence of a home boy (as will Schwartzel and Oosthuizen).  Will that give him the edge he needs to notch the win? Or does the man who finished in solo 3rd in Dubai even need an edge?

Look for Grace to figure dominantly at the Nedbank.
