Grace is focusing much of his attention on claiming a maiden Major victory in 2016, and will use this tournament as a part of his preparation for his great quest.
Having come so close to major triumph in 2015, Grace has already won big this year by claiming the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and it seems winning big is something he loves to do.
From a purely South African perspective there is a lot of talented players coming through the youth ranks.
It has been thoroughly documented this year that Brandon Stone, Haydn Porteous, Zander Lombard and Christiaan Bezuidenhout have lit up the golfing scene.
Stone’s victory in the BMW South African Open Championship and Porteous winning the Joburg Open have done fantastic things for South African golf, and a win this week for either will certainly continue that trend.
Having established themselves on The European Tour and showing how capable they are, a Dimension Data Pro-Am win could further build the foundations of major success.
