Aaron Rai
Introduction
Aaron Rai (born 3 March 1995) is an English professional golfer.
In 2015, he played on the PGA EuroPro Tour, and was promoted to the Challenge Tour for 2016.
In March 2017 he had his biggest success, winning the Barclays Kenya Open on the Challenge Tour by 3 strokes. His Kenya-born mother embraced him on the final green, seconds after his final stroke: Rai said that it was her first visit to Kenya since she left in 1970. His win coincided with Mothering Sunday in the UK. He had his second win of the season in May, winning the Andalucía Costa del Sol Match Play 9, beating Irishman Gavin Moynihan 2&1 in the 9-hole final. His third win came in July with a win in Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge by 5 strokes. His third win gave him an immediate entry to the European Tour.
