Kennedy has two New Zealand Open titles to his credit, winning at Clearwater Golf Club, Christchurch in 2011 where he outlasted the great Craig Parry in a playoff.

After missing out to Michael Hendry in the three-way playoff in 2017, he won the NZPGA Championship in 2016 before his second victory at Millbrook in 2020 in a commanding performance of low-scoring.

Kennedy has 14 wins as a professional led by six on the PGA Tour of Australasia and three on the Japan Golf Tour, with his exploits in 2020-21 earning his the PGA Tour of Australasia OOM winner and voted Player of the Year.
