Congratulations to pupil Branden Grace in shooting a final round of 70 and securing a two-shot vitory in the Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews.

Four clear overnight and five in front after a birdie at the first, the South African played the next 10 holes in two-over and walked off the 11th green tied for the lead with playing partner Thorbjorn Olesen.

However, Grace claimed a hat-trick of birdies at 12, 13 and 14 holing some vital putts to vault three clear again and once more gain control of the tournament which he'd led since a stunning 60 in his first round at Kingsbarns.

A bogey at 17 saw Olesen cut the gap to two but the 24-year-old Grace kept his nerve to become the first man this season to win four times on the European Tour.

Grace's winning score of 22-under matched that of last year's champion Michael Hoey. Michael is also a pupil of Putting Coach Phil Kenyon, making it 'Back to Back' wins at the Dunhill for HSPSE students

Olesen returned a four-under 68 to finish in solo second on 20-under, two shots clear of Sweden's Alexander Noren who closed with a 69.

Grace joins an elite list of players who have won four or more titles in one season on the European Tour - Seve Ballesteros, Ernie Els, Sir Nick Faldo, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Martin Kaymer, Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie, Lee Westwood and Ian Woosnam.
