Kiawah Island: South Africa’s Branden Grace holed out from 70 feet in a sandy waste area for birdie and owned a one-stroke lead early in Friday’s second round of the PGA Championship at windy Kiawah Island.
The 33-year-old from Pretoria defied gusting breezes to stand 5-under for the tournament and 3-under for the round as the longest course in major history humbled an elite field.
Grace holed a seven-foot birdie putt at the par-5 second, dropped his approach inches from the cup for a tap-in birdie at the par-5 seventh, rescued par from eight feet at the eighth and then made his pitch in at the 10th to take command.
