Vincent's round was one of only two bogey-free rounds of the day.

At the par-73 Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course, the Zimbabwean started the penultimate round leading by two shots, and despite a solid day of ball striking, his putter refused to cooperate.

Vincent made only two birdies in a bogey-free round of two-under par 71 and stayed ahead of the fast-charging Thai Settee Prakongvech (67), who closed with a disappointing bogey.

China's Bobby Bai matched Settee's 67 and took possession of third place on the leaderboard at nine-under par total. The Aussie duo of Jack Buchanan (68) and Maverick Antcliff (72), American Austen Truslow (69) and Thai Suteepat Prateeptienchai (71) were in a tie for fourth place.

Nine Indians exited early as the cut fell at 1-over 147.

The nine players missing the cut included Khalin Joshi (74-74), who missed by one shot, Rashid Khan (77-72), S Chikkarangappa (75-75), SSP Chawrasia (74-76), Yuvraj Sandhu (76-74), Rahil Gangjee (75-75) and Viraj Madappa (78-76), Karandeep Kochhar (78-80) and Aman Raj (79-79).
