By CORRESPONDENT
Muthaiga’s Greg Snow has pulled out of next week’s KCB Golf Tour Grand Finale slated for Leisure Lodge Golf Club between August 7 and 10.
Snow who is currently based in Cartford in the United Kingdom, confirmed this in an exclusive interview with www.kenyagolfguide.co.ke today saying he had a busy schedule as he was preparing for MeNa Tour to be held in Dubai.
The tour has a lucrative prize money of Sh4.3 million (50, 000 dollars) in every event with the eventual tour champions pocketing an extra Sh6.5million (75, 000 dollars).
“I have a busy schedule at the moment and as much as I could have liked to play at the grand finale in Leisure I cant because I am focusing on the MeNa Tour starting in Dubai, then Qatar, Oman and Abu Dhabi all from September 22 to November 13,” said Snow who was among the local players that made the cut during this year’s Kenya Open at Karen Club in February.
This means that Snow would not have participated in any KCB Tour event this year.
He played in the MeNa Tour in Morocco earlier this year and also took part in the German Swiss Challenge Tour.
In Morocco, Snow tied third then tied fourth in the second event to currently secure the fifth position in the Order of Merit of the tour. He, however, missed the cut in the Challenge Tour.
“The top three players in the MeNa tour competition qualify to play in the Qatar Open, Abu Dhabi Championships, Dubai Desert Classic, King Hassan Trophy and all European tour events and that is my target. I know I can make it I am only two positions short at the moment,” the Muthaiga pro said.
He added: “My golf has not been great in recent past, I was a bit off form, but I am working hard on it in preparation of the crucial Middle East events next month.” nike air max homme pas cher nike air max homme pas cher
