A retired teacher from Scotland, Kennedy first appeared in 2000 where he blundered on a crucial conundrum and lost by 18 points. He returned 17 years later in another close game. He got a crucial conundrum wrong again, but this time wasn’t costly as he was 7 ahead and Alex Smith comically drew a blank. Kennedy followed with his only century of his run and scored no lower than 83 in his remaining six wins, including a 1-point win over Rania Abdul-Wahab. As a result, he will return for the series finals in December, but in a long and strong series, his total of 736 points is only enough to make him the #7 seed.
