Kris is no stranger to competing in PGA tournaments as he explains: “My most memorable moment of my golfing career had to be qualifying and playing in the 2019 Scottish Open at The Renaissance. Amazing to test myself against some of the best players in the world.
“As a PGA professional I balance my time from shop work and lessons whilst trying to fit in some time to work on my own game.
“This year I plan on playing 12 events on Paul Lawrie’s Tartan Pro Tour, 5 events on the PGA Scottish Tartan Tour along with Open Qualifying and possibly European Tour School at the end of the year if the funds are available.”
The first event of the season will be on the Paul Lawrie Tartan Pro Tour at Blairgowrie golf club on April 11-April 12.
“One of my biggest goals is to qualify and play in The Open! St Andrews is the venue this year, there would be no better place to do it!”
