ZIMBABWE’S Scott Vincent secured back-to-back wins with victory in the International Series England, the first Asian Tour event to be staged in the UK.
Vincent, who won the Mizuno Open on the Japan Tour last Sunday, carded a final round of 66 at Slaley Hall to finish 12 under par, a shot ahead of Australia’s Travis Smyth, who bogeyed the 72nd hole.
He carded 69; 68; 69 and 66 for a total of 272 and he has moved up from 51 a position he had during the Asian tour to third place.
Vincent has accumulated a total of US$387 737.50 in earnings after taking part in six tournaments.
Smyth had the consolation of securing one of the two places on offer for the highest finishers.
India’s Viraj Madappa, who finished sixth, took the other place as Vincent was one of several players above him on the leader board who were already in the Centurion field.
South African Ian Snyman, Australian Kevin Yuan and Thailand’s Itthipat Buranatanyarat also qualified via a cumulative International Series order of merit.
