ZIMBABWEAN professional golf siblings Scott and Kieran Vincent made the cut at the International Series India, presented by DLF at DFL Golf and Country Club last weekend.

Scott, in his second event of the season in Asia, managed another top 10 finish after he finished tied for position 10th.

After carding rounds of 77, 71, 76 and 66, Scott was tied with Travis Smith, Richard T Lee, Justin Quiban, Anirban Lahiri and Charlie Lindh.

For his effort, Scott pocketed US$32 083 to take his order of merit standings to 11th place on 118.94 points.

The young of the two siblings, Kieran on the other hand, was tied on position 63rd. He took his order of merit points to 6.16 points and is on position 81.

Kieran was tied with Poosit Supupramai and Wooyoung Cho to pocket US$5 800.
The second Asian Tour event was won by Ollie Schniederjans who completed a fairy tale comeback victory.

The American, lifted by an outrageous chip in for birdie on 13, fired a three-under-par 69 for a four-round aggregate of 10-under.

It gave him a surprise four-shot victory over reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, his nearest challenger – in the opening event of the year on The International Series that brought crowds flocking to Gurugram.

The two-time major winner pulled out all the stops with a seven-under par round of 65, but it wasn’t enough to cancel out an eight-shot gap that Schniederjans had built up over him going into the final round, and he finished on six under for the week.

Abraham Ancer of Fireballs GC finished joint third on two under after a level-par final round, alongside reigning International Series Rankings champion Joaquin Niemann, with only four players finishing under par on the testing Gary Player-designed course.
