Grace can make it five

Grace, the European Tour's only four-time winner this season with his discount golf clubs and, after Louis Oosthuizen, South Africa's second-highest finisher in the final Race To Dubai standings - Oosthuizen was third with E3 187 364 and Grace 6th with E2 502 501 - can look back on a phenomenal season. His achievements are made even better when you consider that he came onto the tour in January after first having to fight for his player's card at the Tour's dreaded, pre-season qualifying school.

Currently down to 36 on the world rankings, Grace began his spectacular run in January with back to back victories at the Joburg Open and the Volvo Golf Champions where, playing on his home course with his burner 2.0 irons in George in the Southern Cape, he beat his boyhood heroes Ernie Els and Retief Goosen in a play-off that earned him the biggest purse ever paid to the winner of a full-field event in South Africa.

From there he went on to his third triumph at the Volvo China Open before landing another big fish at the Alfred Dunhill Links championship in Scotland.

He hasn't won since with his taylormade burner 2.0 irons , but he made it very clear that he was no flash in the pan at the 2012 season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

Here he contended strongly before eventually finishing sixth behind a stellar group of Major and World Golf Championship title holders that included (in the order that they finished) McIlroy, Rose, Charl Schwartzel, Donald and Oosthuizen.

This was only 11 days ago so in this kind of form and together with the fact that he is back in his native South Africa where his magnificent year was ignited, it must make him one of the top favorites with the i20 irons to claim a title he says he would much like to own because of it's connections with the highly regarded and much loved Nelson Mandela.

All that said, Grace must know that even with McIlroy and company out of the way this week, winning won't be easy on a short even with the great i20 irons for sale online, old-fashioned 18-hole course built inside Durban's storied Greyville Racecourse.

It's wicked rough, some well placed bunkers and its true - but hard to read greens - are its stoutest defenses when the wind doesn't blow.
