Zimbabwean golfer Scott Vincent was ecstatic after clinching the US$2 million International Series Morocco on Sunday, ending a three-year title drought.
His younger brother, Kieran Vincent, also participated but unfortunately missed the cut.
“What an amazing week, what an amazing day. This is incredible, so amazing to be here and so thankful,” a jubilant Vincent said after securing his second Asian Tour victory, both in International Series events.
Vincent’s masterful performance at the par-73 Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course saw him maintain a composed four-shot lead, ultimately finishing 14-under 278.
Despite a three-putt bogey on his opening hole, the 33-year-old remained focused.
“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 admitted.
However, his composure paid off.
“But what can you do? You just have to get on to the next hole and try and do your best from there,” Vincent explained.
His patience was rewarded on the back nine, as he closed with three birdies in his last four holes, including a 20-footer on the 18th.
“And then I look up on the last and it’s a three-shot lead. And I was like, ‘wow, it all paid off!’” he recounted.
Vincent, who lost his LIV Golf card last year, has been enjoying a resurgence in form in 2025, largely crediting his childhood friend and caddie, Kyle Basson.
This win marks his eighth top-12 finish in 11 worldwide starts this season.
He emphasized that a key to success on a challenging, tree-lined course like Royal Dar Es Salam was accepting that mistakes are inevitable.
“You can’t really try to avoid bogeys – they happen. But I had a clear game plan and just focused on executing it,” Vincent stated.
“Sometimes things go your way, sometimes they don’t, but it’s about hitting the best shot in front of you each time.”
Reflecting on the victory, Vincent highlighted the special nature of the week.
“This week, the strategy, the way I played, and even some bounces just went my way. It’s special. This kind of week only happens occasionally. And to do it alongside my close friend and caddie, Kyle, makes it really cool,” he concluded.
This victory not only puts Vincent at the top of the Asian Tour Order of Merit but also makes him the sixth multiple International Series winner, joining an elite group of golfers.
Thailand’s fast-charging Danthai Boonma settled for second place on 10 – under par 282 after shooting a final round 66 while there was a three-way tie for third involving American Peter Uihlein, New Zealand’s Denzel Ieremia and Australian Maverick Antcliff.
The trio shot overall 9 – under 283.
Austen Truslow, the 6-feet-5-inch-tall American, finished with three birdies in a row to take solo sixth place, his best finish on the Asian Tour.
