“But right now I’m really happy and thankful for all the people that have been there supporting me.
“It’s been great these past few months. It’s been a lot of learning. When I joined LIV, I was not playing great, and it was a learning process. I had to become better. It’s been really cool to see that in this brief time I’ve gotten so much better and that I can compete at the highest level with the best players in the world.”
Surratt was also chasing his first win. It is the third time he has finished runner-up on The International Series – including losing to Joaquin Niemann from Chile in a play-off last year.
“Yeah, it’s hard,” said the 21-year-old, who played for Legion XIII on LIV Golf.
“I finished runner-up at this event last year. So, it’s tough. I feel like I’m overdue on my first win. I definitely had that in my mind today. Just getting off to a bad start really hurt me. Josele was beating me by four shots today through three holes. He’s an amazing player, props to him. I’m sure we’ll have many, many good battles.”
He got off to a poor start, dropping shots on the first two holes, but fought back with three birdies on the front side. Two birdies and a dropped shot on the second half saw him just fall short once more.
Vincent started the day just five shots off the lead, comfortably ahead on the rankings. He shot a 75 today, to finish eight under to tie for 42nd place, not quite what he had hoped for but still good enough for him to top the rankings with 335.11 points. Asaji finished second on 285.3 points.
“I think it’s still settling in,” said Vincent, winner of this year’s International Series Morocco.
“Right now, all I want to do is go see my family. Yeah, we’ll head towards them tonight and can’t wait to see them.
