Vincent said he is looking forward to tomorrow’s round and expects to impress.
“I did play well today as I managed to maintain my composure and I’m now hoping to do the same tomorrow.
“I managed some good shots hitting the green several times and only missing it once gave me the edge so I’m now looking forward to another good outing.
“Playing with seasoned players gave me courage and I’m going to learn and improve myself,” said Vincent.
Mark Williams was also in the mix as he was tied with Vincent and the seasoned Sunshine Tour campaigner was on the leader board with

De Jager had this to say after his second day lead: “The greens firmed up and speeded up much more than I expected. You had to just change a bit of your course management, play a bit more conservatively, but at the end of the day I’m happy with where I finished off today,” he said.
