KUCHING: Top Zimbabwe golfer Scott Vincent will resume his bid for an Asian Tour breakthrough when he steps up to the tee at the Sarawak Championship from Aug 15 to 18 here. Fresh off a well-deserved break with his family at home, the 27year-old golfer is eager to launch another title assault at the Damai Golf and Country Club, where he enjoyed a tied-seventh place finish in the inaugural edition last year.
Placed ninth on the Order of Merit, Vincent would also be eyeing a fine showing to boost his rankings as he aims to move inside the top-four by Oct 21, which would be the qualifying cut-off for the prestigious World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions. “I am excited to be back again this year. I have had a nice break this last month so I’m looking forward to sharpening my game at the course this week. I remember the scores being low last year so it will take some good golf to compete.
Sarawak is a nice place to relax between the golf so my wife and I will enjoy that! “I have had a pretty good start to the season; my target is still to get my first win in the Asian Tour,” he said in a statement issued by Asian Tour on Tuesday. Vincent would feature in the 156-man field alongside Thailand’s rising star Jazz Janewattananond and Scott Hend of Australia, who are placed first and second respectively on the Asian Tour Order of Merit. – Bernama
