Golfer ranked 2,930th goes from delivering groceries to earning $216K with 2nd place at Kenya Open

Only a week after he was delivering groceries to make ends meet, the 2,930th-ranked golfer Joe Dean finished tied for second at the Kenya Open on Sunday to earn himself more than $200,000 and a huge shot of confidence for the future. Dean shot a 4-under 67, including five birdies, to share a second-place finish with Spaniard Nacho Elvira (66) at two shots behind tournament winner Darius Van Driel, who claimed his first European Tour win at age 34. The 29-year-old Dean had to go back to working for a British supermarket chain after he missed the cut in Doha earlier this month.
