Jens Fahrbring, who this year will be focusing on the Challenge Tour and mixing in a few European Tour events, started the Challenge Tour season by finishing second after a tough playoff against Lorenzo Gagli in Barclays Kenya Open.
Jens started the week in the middle of the field and made it into the weekend just two shots clear of the cut-line after rounds of 72 and 70, six shots behind Gagli.

Jens Fahrbring
Jens (born in 1984 in Sweden) had his debut year on the European Tour in 2016 after finishing tenth on the 2015 Road to Oman (European Challenge Tour) ranking, with 17 cuts made in 20 events.
A humble young man from just north of Stockholm. That is who we met in the late fall of 2015. When we later started looking at his career we realized that Jens could be one of the more solid golfers ever to come out of Sweden.
Jens finished tenth in the 2015 Road to Oman Rankings, thanks largely to the victory at the D+D REAL Czech Challenge and a tie for third at the lucrative Kazakhstan Open. That season he also finished tied for third in the 72nd Open d'Italia, having shared the lead after three rounds, instilling the belief he was ready to compete on the European Tour.
