For this year’s tournament the back nine will be played first‚ which means the picturesque but daunting par-five ninth will be the closing hole. “The GPCC is in pristine condition as a combination of being well-prepared for the NGC before we had to cancel this year’s event‚ and the lack of significant traffic as a result of the national lockdown‚” said Anthony Leeming, CEO of Sun International. “So we are confident this year’s field will encounter a golf course in excellent condition and very much worthy of this great championship.”
