ZIMBABWEAN professional golfer, Scott Vincent, finished fourth at the LIV Golf Mexico at the weekend and took home a cool US$1million.
The tournament, played at the Club de Golf Chapultepec, was won by Jon Rahm, who helped his Legion XIII team to a win as well.
Vincent finished on 12-under overall to finish in fourth place.
Representing HyFlyers team, Vincent’s team also featured Phil Mickelson, a Major winner, Michael La Sasso, Branden steel and Cameron Tringale.
They finished fifth in the tournament.
Rahm, The Legion XIII captain, closed with a dominant seven-under 64, finishing at 21-under-par to secure a commanding six-shot victory.
Rahm delivered four rounds in the 60s and steadily pulled away from the field.
Paired in the final group with teammate Tyrrell Hatton — the first time the Ryder Cup duo had shared a final group on LIV Golf — Rahm quickly took control and never looked back.
