Timeline

1991

After his playing career, Kinell worked as a club pro at Landeryd Golf Club, situated outside Linköping, and won the Swedish PGA Club Pro Championship at Båstad Golf Club in 1991. The victory was shared with Gunnar Mueller, since darkness made it impossible to play further playoff holes after three shared extra holes.

1984

Kinell's best year in the paid ranks came in 1984, when he reached his best European Tour finish, tied 4th at the 1984 Tournament Players Championship at St Mellion International Resort, Cornwall, England. Kinell shot 63 in the third round, the joint low round of the tournament, equaled by Bernhard Langer in the fourth round. Kinell's 4th place was again the best ever by a Swedish player on the European Tour. He finished the year ranked 96th on the European Tour Order of Merit.

1982

While still an amateur, Kinell reached a high finish at the 1982 Scandinavian Enterprise Open on the European Tour, at his home course. After the first round Kinell was tied 4th alongside Seve Ballesteros, two strokes off the lead. Kinell finished the tournament tied 8th. He was best Swedish player and best amateur, just as the year before, when he was tied 23rd. His tied 8th finish in 1982, was at the time the best ever by a Swedish player on the European Tour.

He was a member of the Swedish team, along with Ove Sellberg, Per Andersson and Magnus Persson, finishing tied second at the 1982 Eisenhower Trophy in Lausanne, Switzerland, in September. Persson made a four feet birdie putt on his 72nd hole to give Sweden a silver medal, shared with Japan, seven strokes behind United States, with Kinell finishing tied third and top European in the individual competition.

Kinell was ranked the 1982 best Swedish amateur player by Svensk Golf, the official magazine of the Swedish Golf Federation.

Kinell turned professional at the end of the 1982 season, at the age of 29. A sponsor agreement with Saab AB made it possible for Kinell and two of his teammates from the 1982 Eisenhower Trophy, Ove Sellberg and Magnus Persson, to compete professionally, forming Team Saab, granted financial and management support. This marked the beginning of a break-through for Sweden in professional golf. Less than four years later, Sellberg secured the first European Tour victory by a Swedish born player at the 1986 Epson Grand Prix of Europe Matchplay Championship.

1980

In 1980, Kinell earned Elite Sign No. 65 by the Swedish Golf Federation, on the basis of national team appearances and national championship performances.

1978

Kinell made an international breakthrough when he won individually at the 1978 Fiat Trophy in Turin, Italy on his 25th birthday, over 54 holes against competitors from 17 European countries.

1976

Kinell and his brother Claes finished second at the 1976 Swedish Foursome Championship, over 72 holes stroke-play at Viksjö Golf Club, losing with one stroke, when the winning couple chipped in for an eagle on the very last hole.
