Kian wins his first national title
In the first Nomads National Order of Merit Inland event of the season Kian lost out to Ekurhuleni junior Yurav Premlall.
Kian Rose took his first national title home at the Nomads National Order of Merit Inland in Modderfontein Golf Club on June 19.
The Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club member represented Central Gauteng and the win was his second major tournament victory, following his success in the first Bridge Fund Managers Junior Series.
“It’s great to compete in these events where I can test myself against the best juniors in the country on some of the best courses,” said Kian.
In the tournament, overnight leader Christiaan Maas did not see 17-year-old Kian’s comeback.
Kian said he struggled on his first day.
“The first day was a little messy. I think I only hit seven greens in regulation, but thankfully my short game kept me in it.”
In the first Nomads National Order of Merit Inland event of the season Kian lost out to Edenvale junior and Glendower Golf Club member Yurav Premlall from Edenglen.
Kian said when he started the second round, everything just fell into place.
“I’m so happy with this win.
“It’s definitely my best so far and it’s great to achieve one of the goals I set for myself this season.”
