Brand won his sole European Tour event in 1989, taking the Belgian Open at Royal Waterloo Golf Club, Brussels, by four shots.

He was also very successful in Africa with seven tournament victories on the continent, notably winning the Open de Côte d'Ivoire no fewer than three times.

Brand's win against Sam Torrance helped, alongside Nick Faldo and Howard Clark beat Scotland on the final day to secure the title.

After his win, Brand credited his wife Lyn, a former Ladies European Tour player for a putting tip suggested to him before the final round.

With that win, Brand finished a senior career-best second on the Order of Merit behind former Masters champion Ian Woosnam.
