ZIMBABWEAN golfers Kieren Vincent, David Amm and Justin Kersten will take part in this year’s Orange Bowl to be held at Biltmore Golf Course in North Carolina, United States, from December 27.
Vincent was invited after he came sixth at last year’s event and was joined by Amm, who is the country’s top junior on the Order of Merit as well as Kerstern.
The Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship is celebrating its 52nd anniversary this year.
Amm, who leads the (ZJGA) Order of Merit Standings, and Vincent, who was invited after his performance last year, have been confirmed for the Orange Bowl but Kersten is Zimbabwe’s third representative after he was put on standby as they seek to know if other players would withdraw.
Zimbabwean junior golfers have in the past fared well in the Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship, which has acted as a stepping stone for most local players to earning scholarships to US universities.
The late Wingate Golf Club prodigy, Lewis Chitengwa, remains the only African golfer to clinch the coveted title after his three-shot victory over Tiger Woods in 1993.
