KAREN MASTERS
Kenya’s Finest
GREG SNOW
CLUB: MUTHAIGA
TOURNAMENT SCORE: -11
This was one of the best outings for
Greg in a high profile tournament.
After a good start, Greg had a bad
second round shooting two over
par. He was then to recover with an
excellent round of 66 on day three
before wrapping up with a calculated
-2 on the final day. The result earned
him an automatic invitation to play in
the Swaziland round of the Sunshine
Tour.

It was a great experience. I really
enjoyed playing alongside the best
players on the Sunshine Tour. This is
the exposure we have been craving
10
for. My game plan worked almost to
perfection more so the shot game. I
felt more comfortable on the greens
than off the tee. At Karen if you drive
well, you will definitely record good
scores. And the weather was very
friendly. Unlike during the Kenya
Open, there was no much wind
thus it was easier to control the ball
flight. Interestingly, coming to this
tournament there was this aura of
confidence all around me. In the past
international events, I have always
set my targets quite low; making the
cut. But this time round I had the
greater goal of going for it. I guess
the heightened confidence is as a
result of having played in the Kenya
Open only three months ago and the
series of qualifier events we had in
the run up to KCB Karen Masters. I
can confidently say that I have had a
total transformation- I am completely
out of the comfort zone! We
Kenyan pros need to become more
aggressive and work on our mindset.
I was also very happy to see more
Kenyans make the cut. If we
continue to have many tournaments
to keep the local pros busy, I am
confident that we shall win the Karen
Masters very soon. I am now a more
confident and courageous player. I
am looking forward to an opportunity
to play against the continent’s top
players in more events.
