Speaking to Deo Akope, who has won the Tusker Malt Uganda Golf Open three times as an amateur and twice as a Pro, he said; “I must admit that the level of exposure that he has under is belt for someone so young is overwhelming and can be intimidating but we are all Pros and as long as I can maintain focus and concentration and apply the required bounce to my balls, I have nothing to worry about. In fact, I even have a home course advantage over him so expect a thrilling showdown.”
