“Well the first one went out of bounds and the second one followed suit. Once the second one goes out of bounds you start to get really nervous,” Vincent said of his experience on the third.

“But me and my team have been taking about fighting for a while, and that’s what was ringing in my head. Walking off the third green towards the fourth tee, I told myself the only way we can go through this is if we fight.”
The Zimbabwean did just that and rolled in seven birdies over the composite nine-hole setup for this tournament to carry him to the title.

“Credit to my team throughout the last couple of months for instilling a lot in me to be able to fight like the way we did today. A lot goes on when you play a nine-hole loop and it’s my first time doing that. I really enjoyed it. All in all, it was a great day,” he said.
Van Tonder rolled in an eagle putt on the last to secure second on his own.
