Grace returns to OWGR top 30 following Nedbank win
After capping a lean year with a victory on home soil, Branden Grace made a move in the latest installment of the Official World Golf Rankings.
Grace became the first South African to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge since 2007 when he edged Scott Jamieson for his first worldwide victory in more than 18 months. The title helped Grace to jump from 44th to 29th in the new rankings, closer to the No. 17 spot with which he started the year.
A third-place showing in South Africa helped Victor Dubuisson return to the top 100 at No. 100, a jump of 52 spots, while Martin Kaymer rose 14 spots to No. 69 after finishing fifth.
