2021 Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship

US PGA Tour 

Corales Golf Club 
Punta Cana, La Altagracia, Dominican Republic
25-28 March 2021 
 
Graeme McDowell will be looking to win the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship for the second time when he takes part in the 2021 edition. 
 
The Northern Irishman won the 2010 U.S Open at Pebble Beach, where he ended a 40-year drought for Europeans at the tournament.
 
McDowell, who plays on the PGA Tour and European Tour, has appeared in the top-10 in the Official World Golf Ranking and his best ranking position is fourth.
 
Now ranked 124th in the world, McDowell has won eleven events on the European Tour, and four on the PGA Tour.
 
McDowell won his fourth PGA Tour title at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship in March 2019.
 
The Portrush-born golfer closed with a 3-under 69 for a one-stroke victory over Chris Stroud and Mackenzie Hughes.
 
It was McDowell's first win on the PGA Tour since 2015, following his maiden victory at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.

McDowell has explained how he can improve his game as he looks to clinch his fifth tournament on the PGA Tour this week. 
 
“I’m trying to drive it the best I can but to a certain limit and then after that I’ve just got to get better with the rest of my stuff," McDowell said.
 
“My game is built for being in the fairway and great iron play, great wedge play and great putting. 
 
“Being more aggressive with my iron is what I’m going to do next week as a strategy, and taking on the course a little bit more."
