AFTER finishing third in last week’s Japan Players Championship by Satosyokuhin, inform Zimbabwean professional golfer Scott Vincent was a gear up as he cruised to a composed four-shot win in the US$2 million International Series Morocco at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam on Sunday.

Vincent never gave his opponent a chance as he put together a masterclass in ball striking with 17 greens in regulation, and his only mistakes were two three-putt bogeys in a round of three-under-par 70.

A total of 14-under-par 278 saw him lead second-place Danthai Boonma of Thailand by four shots.

After losing his card on LIV Golf last year, Vincent is enjoying a brilliant run of form in 2025 with his childhood friend Kyle Basson on his bag.

This is his eighth top-12 finish this season in 11 worldwide starts.

“It’s hard to put in words, but what an amazing week, what an amazing day. This is incredible, so amazing to be here and so thankful,” said Vincent. “It was a challenge, for sure (to stay patient as he kept missing birdie putts before the 15th hole), because I didn’t know where I was standing, and it just felt like I was missing all those opportunities,” he told the Asian Tour.

American Peter Uihlein (71) again faced closing trouble on the Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course and dropped to a tie for third place after three birdies on the front nine had brought him to within a shot of leader Vincent.

New Zealand’s Denzel Ieremia (69) and Australian Maverick Antcliff (72) joined him on nine-under par. Austen Truslow, the 6-feet-5-inch-tall American who had several top-five finishes playing on the Korn Ferry Tour, finished with three birdies in a row to take solo sixth place, his best finish on the Asian Tour.

It was Vincent’s second win on the Asian Tour, both in International Series events, and comes exactly three years and one month after his last victory in the 2022 International Series England.
