Grace Outlasts Field to Win

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (AP) — Branden Grace closed eagle-birdie to win the Puerto Rico Open.

Grace holed out from a greenside bunker for eagle on the par-4 17th and birdied the par-5 18th for a 6-under 66 and a one-stroke victory over Jhonattan Vegas at windy Grand Reserve.

Grace was 19 under in an emotional triumph following his father’s January death after a month-long fight with the coronavirus.
