Grace will make his eighth U.S. Open start, getting into the field as a late alternate for 2013 U.S. Junior Amateur champion Scottie Scheffler. Grace rose on the U.S. Open scene in 2015 at Chambers Bay (T-4) and continued his fine play the following year at Oakmont (T-5). He also finished third in the 2015 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, and tied for fourth in 2016 at Baltusrol Golf Club. The South African then won for the first time on U.S. soil in April 2016 at the RBC Heritage. Nine of his 13 professional victories have come on the European Tour; his last coming in the 2020 South African Open, an event co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour. Grace represented the International Team in the 2013, 2015 and 2017 Presidents Cups. During the third round of The Open Championship in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, he became the first player to ever shoot a 62 in a major championship.
