Good grief, Grace! The South African ties the lead with this miraculous bunker hole-out at the 18th. #QuickHits http://t.co/Cj8BaewIbZ
— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 15, 2015 Branden Grace holes out from a bunker to join PGA Championship lead
It’s never bad when you finish your round not needing a putter.
What had been a quiet afternoon at the PGA Championship jolted to life quickly when a cadre of players made a run at what had been a multi-shot lead for Matt Jones all day. One of those players was Branden Grace, who hit his 9-iron short of the 18th green. That’s the hardest hole on the course and finding that bunker would normally result in a bogey, but Grace pulled a birdie out of thin air with this incredible bunker shot.
It moved him to 12-under and, for the moment, into a share of the lead with Jones, Jason Day, and Tony Finau. Jordan Spieth, who has canned three straight birdies, is also on the move and a part of this late flurry of leaderboard shuffling.
