Storm Is Brewing In South Africa, 16 November 2011
After a couple of weeks relaxing at his home with his new arrival to the family of young son Oliver, Graeme once again joins the European Tour as he heads to South Africa to play in the Alfred Dunhill Championship. Leopard Creek once again plays host to this iconic event that boasts some of the biggest names on the European Tour.
Having last played this tournament when it was called the Dunhill Championship way back in 2005 Graeme is returning and hoping to challenge for the title. The challenging par 72 course accommodates not only professional golfers but is also home to some of the planet's most incredible animals. Therefore as well as spotting the odd birdie or eagle on the course there may also be the opportunity to see some of the 'big five' prowling the fairways!!
Graeme starts his first round on Thursday at 11.40am (09.40am UK time) alongside Warren Abery and Oliver Bekker. He also partners the same two people for round two getting underway at 06.50am (04.50am UK time).
