Scott Vincent seals emotional comeback win at International Series Morocco
This is incredible, so amazing to be here and so thankful,' said the Zimbabwean star, who held off a strong field to return to the winner's circle in style.
Vincent, 33, produced a composed final round of three-under 70 at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam (Red Course) in Rabat, finishing at 14-under-par 278—four shots clear of Thailand's fast-finishing Danthai Boonma, who posted a sizzling 66.
He then admitted to battling inner frustrations on the back nine as birdie opportunities repeatedly slipped by. 'It was a challenge, for sure, because I didn't know where I was standing, and it just felt like I was missing all those opportunities,' he said.
'But what can you do? You just have to get on to the next hole and try and do your best from there. And then I look up on the last and it's a three-shot lead. And I was like, 'wow, it all paid off!''
UAE Players on Display
Among those in the field with UAE connections were Joel Stalter, Dominic Foos, Gaganjeet Bhullar, and amateur Ahmad Skaik.
The win marks Vincent's second Asian Tour title, both coming in International Series events—the first being at the International Series England in 2022.
This latest triumph propels him to No.1 on the Asian Tour Order of Merit and second in the International Series Rankings, just behind Australia's Lucas Herbert. The top player in those standings at season's end typically secures a coveted spot on the LIV Golf League.
Vincent, who lost his LIV Golf card last season, is enjoying a phenomenal resurgence in 2025. This victory in Morocco is his eighth top-12 finish in 11 worldwide starts this year, cementing his place among the season's most consistent performers.
On the demanding 7,630-yard par-73 layout designed by Robert Trent Jones, Vincent delivered a ball-striking masterclass—hitting 17 greens in regulation on Sunday. His only blemishes were a pair of three-putt bogeys, but he never relinquished control. He also offered insight into his mindset on a course known for punishing errant shots: 'The key is to accept that mistakes will be made.'
Behind him, Boonma charged up the leaderboard with his bogey-free round, but it wasn't enough to reel in the composed Zimbabwean. Meanwhile, American Peter Uihlein briefly threatened with three birdies on the front nine before fading to a tie for third with Denzel Ieremia of New Zealand (69) and Maverick Antcliff of Australia (72), all finishing at nine-under-par.
Strong Birdie Finish
American Austen Truslow, a former Korn Ferry Tour standout, birdied his last three holes to grab solo sixth—his best result yet on the Asian Tour.
Vincent now joins an elite group of multiple International Series champions, alongside Uihlein, Carlos Ortiz (Mexico), Ben Campbell (New Zealand), Andy Ogletree (US), and Sarit Suwannarut (Thailand).
Looking ahead, the International Series continues with the Indonesian Masters at Royal Jakarta Golf Club from October 2–5, while the next Asian Tour Order of Merit Qualifier is the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland, from July 17–20.

New Zealand take handy lead over Zimbabwe in first Test
New Zealand were in firm control after taking a 158-run lead over Zimbabwe after the first innings on Thursday and then making inroads into their hosts' batting on the second day of the first Test at Queens Sports Club. New Zealand resumed overnight on 92-0 and eased past Zimbabwe's first innings total of 149 before their innings ended on 307-9, with all-rounder Nathan Smith retiring hurt with an abdominal strain. Zimbabwe, who then had to face 13 overs in the final session on Thursday, lost openers Ben Curran and Brian Bennett cheaply and were 31-2 at the close, still trailing by 127 runs. Opener Devon Conway top-scored for New Zealand with 88 but went early after lunch as he cut a sharply rising delivery from Tanaka Chivanga to Brian Bennett in the gully. Daryl Mitchell was bowled for 80 by Newman Nyamhuri, the last wicket to fall as New Zealand added 215 to their overnight score for a significant lead on a testing pitch. Will Young had been dismissed first ball of the day for 41 by Blessing Muzarabani, who returned Zimbabwe's best bowling figures of 3-73 off 26 overs. Henry Nicholls scored 34 while Smith made 22 before being forced from the crease in obvious pain. Zimbabwe will resume on Friday with Nick Welch (2 not out) and Vincent Masekesa, who had yet to score, at the crease.

Adam Aznou looks to make next step with Everton as good friend Lamine Yamal soars at Barcelona
As a boy growing up in Catalonia, scouted and then nurtured from a young age by Barcelona, Adam Aznou would sometimes scroll through his mobile phone before matches in search of visual stimulus. For a period, clips of Neymar were his preferred inspiration. He would seek out the Brazilian's special tricks, his moments of skill in one-on-one duels, as prompts so Aznou could head out on to the pitch confident and with the courage to take the game to opponents. Aznou was barely into his teens when he started to witness, at close range, some exceptional, Neymar-style swagger, being performed by a friend and teammate who was even younger than he was. That was Lamine Yamal. Aznou and Lamine were schoolboys with similar backgrounds – born in Catalonia into Moroccan families – who coincided at Barca's La Masia academy. When their respective professional ambitions took them along different fast-tracks to launch their senior careers, they remained friends. With idols like Neymar, a celebrated prodigy well before he joined Barca and later Paris Saint-Germain, and peers like Lamine, the current Barca superstar, a degree of impatience in plotting the upwards trajectory of your own career would be understandable. And Aznou, still a teenager, has long been tipped to thrive at the elite level. Barcelona saw that potential in him when they took note of his strong left foot, his ease on the ball, his turn of pace, his adventurous use of the left flank and enrolled him at their admired finishing school. Bayern Munich then promised him a rapid rise to their senior side when they enticed him away from La Masia as soon as he had turned 16. A few weeks after his 19th birthday, Aznou is now preparing to take on his third leading league, after the Bundesliga and Spain's top-flight. He has joined Everton of the English Premier League, a move regretted by some of Bayern's senior executives, although the German champions were obliged to acknowledge that the precocious full-back, already a full international with Morocco, was entitled to move on to feel assured his career was progressing. His impatience at Bayern, where he had outgrown the youth team, had been building. Aznou had spent the second half of last season on loan and impressing at Real Valladolid in La Liga – albeit at the wrong end of the table there – and in June he returned to Munich encouraged that he was asked to join the Bayern squad in the USA for the Fifa Club World Cup. That meant a sacrifice: He made an agreement with Morocco manager Walid Regragui that he should be with Bayern at a major tournament rather than join up with the national squad for their early summer get-together. The expectation then was that Aznou would play more than a mere 10 minutes in the Club World Cup's group stage. By the time Bayern were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-final, he felt restless. Aznou, who captained Bayern in the Uefa Youth League, had in total made only four appearances off the bench for the seniors in 2024-25. He had begun to suspect that in a Bayern hierarchy where the lightning quick Alphonso Davies commands the left-back role, he was further back in the queue there than his talents would make him at most other employers. That opinion is widely shared. Barcelona, recalling the good impressions the younger Aznou made on their coaches at La Masia, are among the superclubs who considered bidding for him this summer, noting that, in his spell at Valladolid, he continued to show the verve in attack that marked him out as a kid. Valladolid may have spent last season in a vain struggle against relegation, but Aznou still recorded the second best register for successful dribbles of any defender who played more than 500 minutes in the Liga campaign, edging Barca's dashing Alejandro Balde into third place on that metric. Valladolid had recognised Aznou's fortes immediately, putting him on the left wing for his first start there. Aznou himself ensured Evertonians have had advanced notice of his progressive instincts, when, at his presentation this week, he said: 'I like to take the ball on – one-on-one dribbling, that's me.' Having signed his four-year Everton deal and had his first look at their impressive new stadium, symbol of revived ambition at the Merseyside club, Aznou joined teammates in the USA for the remainder of the preseason tour. He could make his debut this weekend against Manchester United in Atlanta. But a degree of patience will still be required, advised David Moyes, the Everton manager. 'He's young, maybe not quite ready yet, but we hope he will be shortly,' said Moyes of Aznou. 'We see a lot of good things in him. He's technically very good, athletic, might need just a little bit to get himself built up and ready for the Premier League, so we won't be putting him under any pressure.' Aznou will be alive to the pressure of the international calendar, however. In less than six months time, Morocco host the Africa Cup of Nations, with hopes high that, following up their run to the semi-finals of the last World Cup, the Atlas Lions can reclaim the continental prize they last achieved almost half a century ago. Though much of Regragui's ideal starting eleven is established, there's a hint of a vacancy for a specialist left-back. There's competition for the spot, into the long-term, too, with a clutch of young players looking to follow the lead of Morocco superstar Achraf Hakimi, the dashing attacking right-back who played such a vital role in delivering the Uefa Champions League title to PSG last season. Hakimi has been a pathfinder for Aznou's generation. Like Aznou, Hakimi was born in Spain and elected to play his senior international football for the nation of his parents rather than Spain. Ditto Youssef Enriquez, known as Yusi, a left-back of huge promise who, in common with Hakimi, came up through the youth system at Real Madrid. He's 19 and, just like Aznou, has chosen this moment of his career to push on and gain more minutes on the pitch in a top division by leaving Madrid to join La Liga's Alaves. Regragui will be watching very closely how Yusi and Aznou both take on their new challenges.

Reversing the talent drain - what UAE need to do to get closer to Rugby World Cup dream
The UAE's admirable quest for a place at the next Rugby World Cup finally reached its end at the weekend when they were soundly beaten by Namibia in Uganda. The loss was predictable. After all, they were playing against a fully professional side coached by Jacques Burger, a great of the English Premiership with Saracens, who have played at the World Cup seven times themselves. The fact the national team made it that far was a fine effort, their best yet in 14 years as a competitive entity. For the tour to Uganda, the amateur players of the national team were biting into annual leave they might otherwise have wanted to use elsewhere. One player cut short his honeymoon to play. Another flew in fresh from getting engaged. It had been the best part of a month since they had earned their place in the Africa-Asia play-off by finishing second in the Asia Rugby Championship. Although they have fallen short of a home appearance at the final qualifier, which will be played at The Sevens, Dubai, in November, their exploits should be commended. So, what happens next? After the massive strides that have been made in recent seasons, one area of concern when looking forward is the age profile of the side. Many of the players who have brought the UAE to this position – their highest world ranking to date – will not be playing next year, let alone when qualification reaches its business end again in 2029. Time needs to be invested in young players who will be better off for four years of international rugby experience. That is easier said than done in the UAE. With no existing structure for professional rugby, retaining good young players within the country, and in a competitive system, has always been a challenge. The improved performances of the national team have partly come about as a result of the willingness to cast the net beyond the usual confines of domestic competition. UAE-qualified players have been considered from wherever they can be found, and their availability investigated. Apollo Perelini and Jacques Benade, the brains trust of the coaching team, have raided their contacts books. It has turned up quality players like Sam Bullock, Gerard Pieterse, Max Johnson and Jack Stapley; all based overseas but recalled to play for the country where they spent their formative years in rugby. Change beyond that will have to be incremental. A move to semi-professionalising the game in the Emirates would take a massive shift, let alone having a fully professional set of players, as happens in the countries they are now actively competing against. But they have shown over the past two years they are increasingly open-minded and nimble. A set of extremely talented Fijian players have been recruited to help develop the game among Emiratis. They will qualify to play for the national team in due course. If they can have a similar effect to their compatriots, Sakiusa Naisau, Niko Volavola, Epeli Davetawalu and Emosi Vecanaua, it will serve the national team well. Relying on readymade, imported talent has limits, though, and will mean the average age of the side will always be high. There is no easy fix to reversing the talent drain. Even players who do not look abroad to further either their professional or playing careers, or for education, are not guaranteed to remain involved. For example, Robert March, a product of British School Al Khubairat in Abu Dhabi, is set to be lost to the system after signing professional terms to play football with Al Jazira this summer. But if they can keep as many as possible of the following players engaged, it would swell the player pool to the point where they could challenge Hong Kong for the Asian qualifying berth in the next sequence of World Cup qualifying.
