Greg Hinze and David Grainger

David Grainger and Greg Hinze won the Nail Life Master Pairs on Saturday, finishing 8 matchpoints ahead of David Gold and Boye Brogeland on a 51 top.
“I just felt like we played normal,” Hinze said. “We always knew what each other had in the bidding, and we took our tricks.”
Grainger added, “The opponents were friendly.”
It’s the third win in an NABC+ event for both Grainger of Etobicoke ON and Hinze of San Antonio TX. Grainger has four others in limited NABC events.
Grainger and Hinze started the day in fourth after scoring 57.87% and 60.79% in Friday’s qualifying sessions. Their best session was a 62.87% in the first final, and a 54.99% in the last session was good enough to bring it home.
