Two-time BNI champ

Christian Brand holds his 2010 BNI Memorial Tournament trophy after receiving it from Greg McGraw, right, Monday.

The tournament was played in honor of the late Ben McGraw,  son of Greg and a young golfer who died tragically last year.

The title was Brand’s second straight.

Brand shot a final-round 3-under 69.

Brand became the third golfer to win back-to-back BNI titles.
