Scott Vincent destined for greatness

By Takudzwa Chitsiga
GOLFERS Scott Vincent and Nyasha Muyambo finished 28th and 67th respectively at the South Africa Amateur Strokeplay Golf Championships yesterday.
Vincent, who went into the tournament carrying the Africa junior champion tag, managed to play well at a higher level.
The South African tournament had the field of 260 golfers reduced to 73 players after two rounds.
The cut was made at 148 with Vincent and Muyambo at 144 and 145 making the final showdown. Vincent carded 78, 66, 72 and 72 to finish the four rounds on a gross score of 288.
The golfer was tied with three South Africans Francois Coetzee, Louis Taylor and Daniel Hammond. Vincent is now looking for opportunities in the more competitive South African league while waiting to go to United States.
The golfer told Golfzone recently that he was looking for a move.
“I completed my ‘A’ Level studies last year so I have an eight-month period between now and my departure for Virginia Tech where I will have nothing else to focus on apart from golf,” said Vincent.
“So in the coming months I will continue to concentrate on my golf and try to take my game to another level by playing in the local tournaments as well as participating in more tournaments in South Africa.  That way I will get more exposure to golf at a higher level.”
Muyambo, who missed the Africom Zimbabwe Open after being suspended, did fairly well in South Africa.
The golfer carded 71, 74, 77 and 81 to finish on 303.
Jared Harvey won the tournament after a playoff with David Law on the first hole.
Harvey finished on 14-under-par 274.
Meanwhile the Zimbabwe Ladies Golf Association will this morning hold the Mashonaland Strokeplay tournament at Warren Hills Golf Club.
The tournament is expected to attract about 50 woman golfers from across the country.
