Kieran Vincent on cloud nine after bagging the Asian Tour International Series Vietnam

Zimbabwean professional golfer Kieran Vincent on Sunday won the Asian Tour International Series Vietnam played at the KN Golf Links in Cam Ranh, Vietnam, closing with six-under 66 at KN Golf Links.

Kieran expressed gratitude to his brother who supported him last year as he was trying to make his way as a newcomer to the Tour.

“It is surreal right now. I feel like I am a lead singer in a band of people that have done so much for me. I am very appreciative. I don’t think it is going to sink in for a while.

“I honestly don’t think I would be at this point where I am without him. He helped me out a lot just to be on this stage, so I am very thankful to him and the rest of my family.

“At the beginning of this week I was just looking at myself saying I just want to keep my card and so I think I have been able to do that,” Vincent said.

He competed against the likes of Hong Kong’s Matthew Cheung, Takumi Kanaya, Japan and Kevin Yuan of Australia.

Kieran turned professional in 2022 and joined the PGA Tour Canada and the Asian Tour in late 2022. In April 2023, he won the International Series Vietnam, coming from four shots back to overtake overnight leader Takumi Kanaya.

His brother Scott Vincent, who is also a professional golfer, won the Series last year in England.
