Current and 'will-be-champions' converge at the KCB Karen Masters

At the start of this year’s KCB Karen Masters Pro-Am on Wednesday this week, with a marauding chilly morning breeze, Martin Rohwer arrived at the tenth tee at 8.30 am ready for his tee time. Frankly, I thought that he looked out of place in his khaki shorts. If he was not from South Africa, I would have thought that Rohwer was one of the Americans or Europeans that assume that all of Africa is a hot desert. 

After playing the KCB Karen Masters Pro-Am with him, it occurred to me that Rohwer was the model of wisdom and good golf throughout the round. Missing only a couple of fairways and only one instance where he lost concentration on the green, it was evident that he was not only having fun himself but that he had a lot more good golf in him. He probably would have played a lot better if he didn’t have to contend with the lackluster golf that I was playing.
