NAIROBI, Kenya — Only a week after he was delivering groceries to make ends meet, the 2,930th-ranked golfer Joe Dean has finished tied for second at the Kenya Open to earn himself more than $200,000 and a huge shot of confidence for the future. 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. Dean shared a second-place finish with Spaniard Nacho Elvira at two shots behind tournament winner Darius Van Driel. It was the 34-year-old Van Driel's first European Tour title.
