Congratulations to Graeme McDowell who capped an extraordinary final round at the inaugural Ballantine’s Championship in South Korea with a thrilling sudden-death play-off victory on the third extra hole over Jeev Milkha Singh at the Pinx Golf Club. Graeme McDowell has been working with Paul Hurrion on his putting mechanics, the key issue being keeping it simple.

After both players had finished with final rounds of four under par 68 for a total of 24 under par 264 totals, they went back to the 18th tee three times before McDowell produced one of the shots of his career, a sublime seven iron from 179 yards to within a foot of the cup to set up a title clinching birdie.

Graeme who had an average of 29.25 Putts Per Round produced a 24 under par score after regualtion play. Paul McGinley also produced a solid four round display finishing in third place 17 under par. It is great to see Paul starting to play well, his confidence and form starting to gather momentum in time for the heart of the season. Other Quintic notables in Korea were Philip Archer -12 T9 and Padraig Harrington -10 T14.

Congratulation once again Graeme. All the best at Doral next week!
