Sunny side up as McDowell sets sights on Slam challenge

Sunny side up as McDowell sets sights on Slam challenge

US Open champion Graeme McDowell will today and tomorrow make the most of his invitation to the 28th PGA Grand Slam of Golf at the Port Royal Golf Course, what the marketing men call the hardest fourball in golf to get into.

Injury to British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and Masters winner Phil Mickelson’s decision to stay at home due to his diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis and also to be with wife Amy as she continues her treatment for breast cancer means McDowell and US PGA champion Martin Kaymer will be the only two major winners of 2010 competing over 36 holes.
