VINCENT BROTHERS MAKE THE CUT
ZIMBABWE professional golfers Scott and Kieran Vincent made the cut at the Asian Tour’s International Series Oman at Al Mouj Golf in Muscat, Oman, on Sunday.
The siblings, who are part of the LIV Golf, took part in the US$2million purse tournament and their tie for position 18 saw them walking home US$23 600 richer each.
The international Series Oman saw over 160 players taking to the field and it was Kieran who had a bright start but had a difficult finish in the final round.
The former Liberty University graduate had a last round of threeover-par to move out of the top ten which he had maintained going into the last round.
Kieran carded rounds of 69, 71, 69 and 75 for a total 281 as Scott had rounds of 69, 71, 69 and 71.
The duo were tied with top amateur Zheng Sampson who had rounds of 68, 69, 68 and 76.
Scott and Kieran have had a decent start to the 2024 golf season as they have managed to finish well in all the three tournaments they have played so far.
The duo finished tied in both the LIV Canada and LIV LAS Vegas and they have managed to finish with below par scores overall.
Mexico’s Carlos Ortiz upstaged Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquin Niemann to record a convincing victory in the US$2million purse tournament.
Ortiz, joint leader at the start of day with Oosthuizen and with a host of big-name players breathing down his neck, showed no fear and shot a seven-under-par 65 to top the leaderboard on 19-under.
He beat one of the pre-event favourites Oosthuizen by four, after the South African carded a 69 at Al Mouj Golf, here on the magical Muscat coastline, when the wind was up.
