all right we’ll get going welcome to the
latest press conference at LIF golf
Jetta 2024 I’m delighted to be welcomed
by Scott Vincent of iron hairs GC and
kieren Vincent of Legion 13 GC welcome
guys thank you thank you who’s who you
Scot but if you didn’t know they are
brothers um I think let’s get going and
just talk about how the last few weeks
have gone of being back playing together
on the same tour and how it’s being
playing against some of the best players
in the world
here
Scott yeah incredible um seems like I
can’t get rid of this guy so whichever
tour I go on he seems to follow and and
do pretty good so
that’s that’s annoying at times but it’s
at least from a family perspective it
gives us something to talk about so
yeah car
um yeah I think it’s it’s it’s fun it’s
enjoyable it’s cool to travel the world
and do some pretty cool things together
um and so yeah I’ve enjoyed the
experience so far and um hopefully it
continues to be like that and Scott you
qualified or you secured your spot for
2024 in jeder last year in October um
and Kier and you qualified through the
promotions event not too far from here
in ababi do you have any specific
memories of those moments of when you
secur your spots individually but also
when you found out your brother was
going to be playing
too yeah I remember when um Karen was
doing the qualifier um of course the
time zones completely flipped over so we
were it was about 4:00 or 5 in the
morning at Denver time and so my wife
loves checking the scores all throughout
the night and I like sleeping so when I
got towards the end and it was very
close she’s like waking me up and like
you got to watch you got to watch um so
we actually founded a friend uh in
Singapore and they had us on FaceTime
and we we were able to watch Karen plays
last few holes and um yeah talk about an
exciting tournament uh where there was
just so much action and so much on the
line and um yeah could have gone either
anyway um and for it to be a it was a
three-person playoff for two spots two
spots yeah um just super exciting I
think really cool for golf and uh what a
great way to start the promotions event
for for live and I think it’s going to
be a great success and Ken your memories
of when you found out you were know when
you qualified through the playoff what
were the first emotions going through
your
mind I think I was tired of emotions
more than
anything I mean it was a long what
seemed like a very long day but kind of
flew by at the same time I mean just
kind of wrapping your head around what
just happened and what is to come I
think we just come some of the the
biggest things but also you know
obviously putting the spec of just that
my game was able to um shape up that
week so it was awesome um um gives me
encouragement for what is to come over
the next couple of months um so yeah
just excited the fact that it it flipped
in my favor but yeah as Scott said it
could have gone anyway so we’re just
super grateful to be out here were you
nervous depends who’s
asking and final one from me what’s the
dynamic like between you two during a
tournament week how competitive you guys
are or you just chilling just for each
other what would you like it to be
whatever you say what writes the story
better you tell
us um why don’t you go for this one well
he hasn’t challenged me in ping pong yet
so um not much of a challenge that’s
why
we I guess especially being on different
teams does that add an element of
competitiveness to you it gives us a
break from each other you know cuz
sometimes it’s a bit much uh but I
wouldn’t say we’re too competitive the
fact that we want to ring each other’s
necks I think that kind of happened in
the ear years of our life and I think
we’ve got to a stage now where um necks
have been wrong enough and we just out
here to support each other the best we
can um so whether we’re on different
teams or whatever it might be I think
family trumps everything and so the fact
that we can be out
here be one family um I think that kind
of steers us in a way to motivate and
help each other the best we can do you
believe that
Joy your schooles have been sh
that fair point I’ll hand over to Mike
well I actually was going to ask that
cuz last three starts obviously you guys
have finished in the same position each
of the tournaments how do you how do you
explain that just kind of a brotherly
connection right we don’t want the
family to have favorites so we try and
play it equal and so they can careful
both of us knowing that we’re going to
finish the same so it’s been good so far
nailed it nailed it
yeah Scott can you can you just take us
back to last year going
into here at Jetta and kind of your
mindset knowing that there was a lot on
the line uh that week for you and how
you kind of dealt with it throughout the
week uh the pressure yeah um we we
always try and treat every single week
pretty much the same um we don’t want to
elevate something higher than it needs
to be because it just adds uh
unnecessary pressure on things that we
can’t control like of course we know
what we would like but how much of that
can we control not very very little so
we just kind of came back to um it’s
what we had practiced all year it’s just
trying to be present trying to be in the
moment trying to to learn something you
know every week’s an opportunity to do
that and that week probably more so than
any other like can we really really stay
present this week can we really just
focus on what’s in front of us can we
can we be fully engaged in the shot can
we can we not get caught up in the
results because that’s that’s what
everyone’s preaching that’s what you
know all these uh interviews were about
oh you’re in this position it’s like
that’s great you know that’s that’s for
everyone else you know but for me like
what’s the best I can do and how’s
what’s going to help me play the best
it’s just being present being being
right there being being grateful for
this opportunity you know like how cool
is this that 10 years ago we in Zimbabwe
playing golf together on a you know
random Golf Course um just just having a
great time and 10 years down the road
there’s two of us on the best tour in
the world or one of the best tours in
the world um right next to each other
competing uh and encouraging each other
on like I mean it’s in a way it sounds
like a dream like it’s it’s so cool that
that this is what we get to do and our
families and friends get to follow that
and support us so we’ve got so much to
be thankful for and um being out here
here is is is certainly a huge plus to
both of us and we just want to use uh
this opportunity to just become better
people and and and and uh train
ourselves and and and what we’re working
on and the people we’re becoming so yeah
you know last year this time was yeah
incredible week I learned so much and um
I get to do it again this week Scott you
were I mean Karen you were here uh you
were here cheering on your brother what
was that
like um remember we we got asked as
reserves to do like
um like teach them guys some some golf
inside the the big Marquee tent over
there on the 18th um and so I was
getting close to when Scott was
finishing cuz I was watching the guys
come down 18 kind of peering one one
head one head back and all of a sudden I
was like hey guys I got to I got to go
like I got I got to see what’s going on
like cuz I heard so many rumors about
you know the the little stretch down the
end there um and so to really kind of
see the shot coming down 18 understand
understanding you know all that was on
the line for him was was key cuz I’ve
obviously seen how much hard work um not
only over this past year but previous
years um that had passed to see how much
you know effort he’d put into all his
training being like diligent to
everything that he did so just to kind
of see it all all pay off um everyone
kind of thinks that one moment like
dictates everything but I think it’s the
the many little things that you do on a
day-to-day basis leading up to that one
moment and so I think he’s he was able
to achieve what he could achieve because
of the little things that he done in the
past and so it was just awesome that it
it all happened here when I was here
when the team was you know it was just
it was just such a an awesome experience
so I was happy to be part of it how’ you
celebrate how’ you guys
celebrate by jumping on a flight I think
I think it was it was quick out of here
got remember yeah yeah I think we just
there’s another tournament next week and
that’s that’s the thing about life and
the and especially golf you know there’s
just there’s always a carrot dangling in
front of you it’s it’s like you have the
most amazing week but there’s something
next week you know so really there was a
couple moments like I’ll never forget
calling my wife after that where she
watched and we’re both in tears like
about what had just happened um and then
from there it was like right next week’s
Miami next week’s the team thing I want
to be the very best I can for my team
and you kind of prepare for that it was
yeah it’s just weird like that where
there’s always something and and it
never fully satisfied it’s like you win
a tournament now the next week you have
to justify your win and then you do all
that well you got to justify it’s just
it’s just weird like that’s that’s kind
of this this life that we living never
ending uh and Karen I wanted to ask you
we talked a little bit about this in in
Vegas but just about your power off the
tea Scott told me that you had an injury
in college and that helped maybe fuel
some of your power can you can you talk
about that development uh uh while you
were in
college yeah yeah
um growing up I used to be shorter than
me didn’t like that so he changed and he
it’s flipped a little bit but just a
littleit um yeah I was never obviously
the biggest like person growing up um
and so it was never really a strength in
my game and I’ll never forget I was in
college and I kept going through the
same cycle of getting feeling sore
getting injured you know sitting out a
couple of weeks and and repeating the
same process um to eventually it came to
a point where one of the guys sat me
down and he says you do know this
there’s a mindset that plays into this
he
says you can mope about it and and feel
like you’re injured 24/7 and and stick
in that kind of lifestyle or you can do
something about it and wake up one day
with a positivity that this can be all
healed and and you can get better and so
I had a little lower back injury but
hearing those words really kind of
motivated me and he was like you just
got to go into the gym and and change
the mind ET and so I think it became a
little bit too much of a freak where I
love going to the gym way too much and
we had a good group of guys around us
that challenged each other um maybe a
little too much at times but uh we just
enjoyed the experience of being in
college having that close-knit group of
people um but you know as you kind of
hinted on there the fact that something
was so negative back in the day you know
this is probably seven eight years ago
that probably looked at maybe putting a
damper on my career if even having a
career at all has now kind of flipped
the script and has given me a strength
week and week out and so I’m just
fortunate for the opportunity that
people you know people are good at what
they do um lean on people um and so I
was able to lean on that guy back then
um who helped me change my mindset of I
don’t really need to be mopy and sad
about this 24/7 I can actually do
something about it and it’s in my hands
and so the mindset shifted and I guess I
like the gym in in the meantime so
well uh I was going to ask you about I I
think I think there was a drive in Vegas
on the final round that was like 177
yards if you that was your regular Drive
I think you’d be leading uh You’ be
leading the uh league and driving
distance what happened on that drive for
for one thing and then just how is it to
kind of compare yourself to some of the
really big bombers out here obviously
Bryson uh wolfy uh guys are you sure you
got the right brother
here maybe are we talking about you
that’s that’s what I want to
know um come on yeah I
mean I think there was a caveon next to
that name I don’t think there’s many s
Vincent leading the the leaderboard on
that side they get us confused all the
time so but no it um yeah obviously
these guys hit it so far but I think
what separates them as being some of the
best in the world um
is they understand their strength and
they and they use it effectively um
coming out of college I was kind of a
little bit willy-nilly knowing that I
could hit F so I just kind of pulled
driver wherever I could um but now
working with a a great guy in Dave
Phillips he’s he’s told me like hey like
you got to understand that like it’s a
weapon when it needs to be a weapon but
you also need to understand when to to
dial it back and so yeah I’m fortunate
that I can get out there if I need it to
get out there um but just adapting and
and being on the tour and seeing how
some of the best do in the world it’s
it’s not something that you need to push
out on every single hole and so just
fortunate that we do have it in the tank
if we need it thank other English
questions yeah I’ve got one question for
Scott and one question for Kieran Scott
uh you might not admit it now but uh
last year when we were talking in
Singapore uh where you again played
fantastic golf you said that Kiran is
actually more talented than you but the
question
is was that supposed to be a
secret what’s your name
again next question
please are you surprised how fast he has
risen uh right within that 1 and a half
years
period um honestly no
I I think like being 5 years older you
see a few things earlier than maybe he
did and obviously you can see the level
that he’s at and maybe the level some of
these the top players are at and it’s
like it’s very easy to see how he would
fit into that um and it yeah it to me it
doesn’t surprise me one bit um I think
there’s many qualities about Karen that
uh fit perfectly into this level of golf
um and the amazing thing is he’s still
young and he’s got so so many years
ahead of him and what can learn and and
how we can use that going forward is
just really it’s up to him um and yeah I
I like I said you know I do feel like
the the level of talent that’s not to
discredit anything that he’s done
because he has done a lot um but I just
think the potential there is um is
really really high um and that’s not to
put pressure on him it’s just the way it
is and he’s just got to go about his
business the way that he does um I think
if you look at us we’re very we’re close
but we’re very different in our
approaches um so yeah he’s just got to
continue to believe in his processes
that he’s developing uh over over these
next few years and and months and um
really stick and hold true to that and
and and I think he’ll be just fine
awesome Kieran how is it being part of
team of John Ram probably the best
player in the world right now uh what
have you learned in these two weeks that
you have been together for the two
tournaments uh what kind of things have
he has he spoken to you guys being a new
team as well yeah
um he’s I think I’ve mentioned this many
many times but he’s such a good guy not
only on the golf course but off you know
it’s not just like full John and then
you don’t see John at all like John’s
such a great guy off the golf course
which I think makes him you know such a
great guy to look up to for a lot of
youngsters um and so obviously he he can
dial it on on the golf course and we’ve
seen it many many times but I think what
like struck me a lot was what what
happened off the golf course you know
like a simple text like hey I’m going
down to breakfast like anyone want to
join you know when I was signing up I
didn’t think that was going to be a
possibility and so you know just the
closeness the the really relational
relational of John I think what’s kind
of separated like him you know I think
he’s he’s so good to want to talk about
anything and everything share a little
bit of insight of you know what’s kind
of got him to hear but also just really
kind of be alongside you and and be your
friend knowing that you know if you’re
in a dark place you need you need some
help like he’s going to help you and so
I think that’s just really a great thing
to to idolize not only just from him but
also from the rest of the guys like
obviously Caleb is a youngster but he
brings so much to the team as well and
then obviously terl tur’s tur I mean
he’s fun he’s he’s energetic he brings a
newness to the team so I think the whole
team dynamic just work super well and so
very fortunate to be to find myself in
that situation one last question to both
of you who has got better
hair why are you asking us why don’t you
tell us depends what you like
huh it’s apples and oranges over
here we’ll do a few questions in Arabic
and yasim will translate
them I can
translate
um hi SC hi Karen um the this is Ali
from he welcomes you guys to the kingdom
and he’s asking you
like being Brothers growing up uh did
you guys ever think one day that you’ll
be playing in one two together touring
the world and um you know like uh
playing professional golf against the
best in the
world go send it BR sure
um did we want it to be a reality yes um
did we think it was going to
happen possibly um but I don’t think you
know everyone has these Big Dreams and
these big
aspirations and it’s just about finding
out the small little things that can
help you get there and so we were we’re
very fortunate fortunate enough that we
had a lot of people around us to
surround us and give us the good Insight
that we needed but I
think it was just kind of very lucky
very thankful very I don’t know there’s
a lot of adjectives that you can put in
there to to describe what is the journey
has taken over the past you know many
years um to get to here but I think we
just great grateful for the opportunity
and just grateful for where we were and
what we’re doing today um you know being
able to use this platform as brothers
together would you like me to answer as
well if you want to add something sure
sure yeah I um kind of like what what I
said a little bit earlier but um it it
was a dream you know you uh you get to
Dream Big Dreams and um you you never
really know um of course it’s it’s a
real reality now and and looking back
it’s like wow how did this all happen
was it was it my doing was it his doing
was it someone else’s doing you know
we’re in a very religious part of the
world and that plays a big part in my
life um and I do believe that there’s
yeah there’s higher Powers um higher
power and I think that played a Hu huge
part in where we are today um and so
like I said you know we’re we’re just
trying to be the best people that we
that we can be and this just so happens
to be golf for us and um just amazing
how we we get to do that together on on
a tour like this uh in Saudi Arabia of
all places just very special and very
cool thank you
guys
[Music]
um this is from the S Channel and he
welcomes you guys to the kingdom as well
and he says like you’ve been as lot of
questions uh about you know like uh the
Brothers part so I’m just going to ask
you guys about um Royal greens your
preparations and um how did it feel out
there um you know like you’ve been uh
maybe SC like um recently here in in the
previous event and now it’s a different
uh time of the year uh the weather is a
little bit different but can you tell us
a little bit more about um how did it
feel out
there yeah thank thank you for for
welcoming us um yeah I’ve been very
fortunate that this is probably my third
or fourth time coming to play here and
we’ve got to play it at different times
of year and um I definitely prefer this
time of year it’s a little bit cooler we
like that um the wind is still strong uh
which which again is is great because it
just it just creates a different level
of difficulty that you know we we get to
practice in um yeah the the course is
playing great I think it’s changed so
much since the beginning of the week um
it felt a little bit softer and the the
greens were a little bit slow and they
today I definitely noticed that they
they fell a lot quicker and like they
were firming up and speeding up so you
can see the course changing as the
week’s going on which is kind of what we
expected um but yeah it’s it’s a
wonderful place to come and play golf
it’s it’s still mind-blowing how they
can have such a good golf course in this
part of the world you know when without
coming here what your expectations of
where you’re going You’re like it’s just
going to be sand everywhere and there’s
nothing and you come here and it’s some
of the best looking grasses in the world
um yeah just the whole experience is
really cool um the food and and
everything that we do while we’re here
is is really cool so yeah I’ve I’ve
really enjoyed coming here I think it
makes me a better player um and yeah I
look forward to the challenge that this
week’s going to bring tan do you want to
add anything about Roy of greens and
being out there and playing some
rounds I mean you got got a factor in
the Red Sea I mean standing on 16t I
think I kind of get all struck every
single time I’m out there just being
able to like take that all in it’s not
every day that you get to see that view
so it’s it’s pretty spectacular but
Royal greens itself I think it’s an it’s
an awesome course um as Scott said the
wind’s going to play obviously a bit of
a factor but at the same time I think
it’s it’s so unique to have such a
prestigious Place course out here and
yeah just obviously grateful for this
opportunity to to be able to come out
here and and showcase what we’ve you
know been practicing over the last
couple of weeks and
[Music]
months
um the second part of the question what
would like to hear from your Scot in
terms of um obviously um throughout the
year you guys play in different places
different courses different weathers um
um how is it easy for you guys to um you
know just adapt to different situations
and how will it be um um difficult for
you guys guys uh in Royal Greens in the
coming 3 days to um perform uh compared
to what you guys did in the previous
event yeah I think the word you use
there which which is something that I
think is what I’m trying to get better
at is adapting you know with with golf
you just never know what’s going to
happen so you’re always having to adapt
um as well as in life you know things
get thrown at you from different
directions and so adapting is a key part
of just just doing life um and and with
golf like even more so um there’s so
many different lies and winds and
grasses and and course conditions and
weather and so you’re always having to
do that and um the great thing about
live golf is that you start on Friday so
you get an extra day of practice if you
if you if you want to use or you can
take it as rest there’s there’s so many
different ways to um get prepared for a
tournament so um yeah we’ve we’ve spent
we’ve been here since Monday today um so
we’ve got to spend a good quality amount
of time on the golf course just adapting
getting used to what uh what is going to
be required and the shots that we think
we’re going to need and and to work on
that so yeah we you know we get a few
days to do that and that’s what we do to
the best of our abilities and some weeks
it works amazing some weeks it doesn’t
um and um yeah we we’ll see what happens
this week thank
you I think this is our last question
okay alikum
this is B from sa gazetta newspapers um
he would like to to hear from both of
you uh Scott and Kieran about uh the one
factor you think apart from of course
the weather because we can see it and we
can feel it but the one factor in your
play that is going to make you do and
perform well u in the coming
days you know what that is
yet it might be the coffee you know it
might be the coffee I tell you what best
coffee in the world right here thank you
thank you brew
92 big shout out to you
guys um I think it may not even just be
on the golf course I think it’s the
mindset and being able to stay patient
I think it’s the golf course that you
might find yourself in a little bit of
trouble as time comes and just being
able to stay patient stay motivated and
stay uh positive to yourself knowing
that you’ve done a lot of work out here
and just um remain patient enough to
know that there are going to be some
birdie B holes and and see what you can
do to the best of your ability so I
think it’s about game planning and as
Scott was saying a little bit earlier
adapting um adapting and and staying
patient out
there I’m going to say courageous like
are you willing to be courageous this
week and take on some risks and some and
and some shots that maybe feel very
uncomfortable um are you willing to fail
you have to be courageous and willing to
fail in order to uh take on a shots so
um yeah
it I mean who knows it’s a journey right
um there’s so many different factors
that could go into whoever’s going to
hoist that trophy at the end of the week
so yeah for me this week that’s going to
be something that I’m working on is just
can I be a little bit more courageous
this
week I think with that we end uh press
conference thank you for your time Scot
we appreciate it and wish you all the
best good luck thank you thank you thank
you
everybody
