Zimbabwean Kieran Vincent, the younger brother to American-based professional Scott Vincent, took out South Africa’s number two and three-ranked players on day two of the Sanlam SA Amateur Championship at George Golf Club on Wednesday.
Vincent beat SA number three Herman Loubser on the 21^st hole in round two and knocked out SA number two Tristen Strydom 2&1 in the third round.

Tristen Strydom took his first step towards his goal of regaining his number one ranking in the country when he made it through the first round of the Sanlam SA Amateur Championship at George Golf Club on Tuesday. The Ekurhuleni golfer beat Boland’s Garrick Higgo 2&1.

The presence of a contingent of Indian golfers in this week’s Sanlam South African Amateur Championship in George is further proof of how golf’s return to the Olympics this year is helping the growth of the game in developing countries. The Indian Golf Union (IGU) sent a group of three golfers to play in last month’s African Amateur Championship at Leopard Creek and this week’s Sanlam SA Amateur at George Golf Club.
