Kenneth Ferrie (born 28 September 1978 in
Ashington, Northumberland) is an England|English
professional golfer who plays on the European
Tour.

Ferrie won the British Boys Championship in 1996
and made his first appearance on the European Tour
that year as an invitee at his local event, the
Slaley Hall Northumberland Challenge, but he
missed the cut. He turned professional in 1999. In
2000 he played mainly on the second tier Challenge
Tour and claimed his first professional win at the
Tessali Open del Sud. He was successful on at the
2000 Qualifying School, earning the right to play
on the European Tour, but he initially struggled
at that level and had to go back to the Qualifying
School to retain his tour card for 2002. He did
however win a second time on the Challenge Tour in
2001 by capturing the Challenge Total Fina Elf. 

Since 2002 Ferrie has performed solidly on the
European Tour. In 2003 he won for the first time
at that level at the Canarias Open de Espana. In
2005 he came from behind to win the Smurfit
European Open, one of the leading tournaments in
Europe, when third round leader Thomas Bjorn
collapsed to a final round 86, playing the last
four holes in ten over par. Ferrie's winning
margin was two shots.

Ferrie's brother Iain has played on the Challenge
Tour.
