Branden Grace nearly had an incredible hole-in-one today -- on a par 4

The South African came very close on one of Castle Stuart’s short par fours.

BRANDEN GRACE WAS nearly celebrating a hole-in-one at the Scottish Open today — on a par four.

The South African struck the flag with his tee shot on the 306-yard third hole, leaving himself with an easy putt for an eagle two.

Grace can count himself a little bit fortunate though. If the flag hadn’t taken all of the pace out of his shot, it probably would have ended up in another parish.
