With Ukraine not exactly a golfing stronghold, Grinberg has been a trailblazer for eastern European golf, becoming the second youngest player to make the cut on the DP World Tour when he made the cut at the Soudal Open two years ago. “Golf is my life. I go in the morning, I will train with a goal, to become champion,” he said in L’Équipe. “I want to go on tour, win all four majors and become world number one.”
