Vincent’s performance at the weekend comes less than a month after he finished as the highest placed amateur golfer at the 2014 Golden Pilsener Zimbabwe Open.
The only amateur to make the cut in the Sunshine Tour co-sanctioned event, Vincent posted rounds of 73-70-72-67 to finish in a tie for 24th place in the 156-man field.
Only a week prior to his participation at the Zimbabwe Open, Vincent had managed an impressive second place finish at the 3M Augusta Invitational in Augusta, Georgia, on April 6.
