The tree-lined Red Course at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam is a place where you need to be accurate off both the tee and into the greens, and it was no surprise to see Scott Vincent holding the International Series Morocco trophy on Sunday afternoon.

The Zimbabwean has been in good form all year and, including Morocco, has now produced seven top-10s in 11 starts worldwide, including four top-fives in his last five events.

The key stats that stood out for Vincent last week were, appropriately, his accuracy off the tee and into the greens, plus avoiding bogies by excelling in scrambling when he did make mistakes.

The 33-year-old co-led the Fairways Hit stats after the third round and ended T7 in this category with 71.67% after dropping off slightly in the final round.

Scott Vincent prevailed thanks to making the most birdies and least bogies. 

His approach game into the demanding greens was also very good, and with a 77.78% Greens in Regulation (GIR) he ranked fifth. This also gave Vincent plenty of opportunities for birdies, and he took full advantage and co-led the field with American Peter Uihlein with 20 birdies for the week.

Vincent also managed to keep bogies to a minimum, his six was the fewest of the players making the cut. This was mainly thanks to his excellent Scrambling where he ranked second with 81.25%.

His other stats for the week: Putts per Green 28.25 (T12), Putts per GIR 1.732 (14^th) and Driving Distance 290.83 yards (45^th).

Runner-up Danthai Boonma from Thailand started the final round eight shots behind the leader, but produced a stunning final round of 66, seven under par, equaling the lowest round of the week posted by Vincent on Friday.

Austen Truslow topped the GIR stats on his way to his best finish on the Asian Tour. He finished sixth.

Like the tournament champion he was also in control of his irons and with a GIR percentage of 80.56% he ranked third in this category. He was also good at converting his chances on the greens and with 18 birdies during the week he placed T8 in that table.

Danthai’s other stats for the week: Putts per Round 30.5 (T41), Putts per GIR 1.741 (17^th), Driving Distance 301.38 yards (23^rd) and Fairways Hit 60% (T25).
