The three-leg tournament, played across the Kigo, Kampala, and Entebbe golf courses, saw Akena consistently excel.

He opened with a level-par 72 at Lake Victoria Golf Resort and Spa, followed by a 2-under-70 at Uganda Golf Club, Kampala.

He then capped off the series with a spectacular 4-under-67 at Entebbe, where he began with an eagle on the first hole, setting the tone for his eventual triumph.

“This was a sweet victory,” Akena said after his triumph. “After I opened with an Eagle on hole one in Entebbe, I knew I had an advantage over the opposition and held on.”

Akena’s consistent performance throughout the tournament earned him a significant portion of the UGX 9.6M prize fund.

He expressed his gratitude, saying, “This has been an eventful year. I thank my family, the Lugazi Hills and Country Club management, my personal management team, teammates, and the Uganda Golf Union for all the support.”

Akena’s 2024 has been a year of unparalleled success. In addition to the Kileleesi Grand Kwacha, he has also claimed victory at the Mbale Open, the Tanna Memorial Open, the Uganda Amateur Open Championship, the Kakira Open, and the Mehta Open.

His impressive performance has earned him global recognition, currently ranking 179th among 4,926 golfers on the world amateur golf ranking.

While Akena dominated the leaderboard, the final leg in Entebbe witnessed a moment of pure magic. David “Amooti” Kamulindwa, using a Titlist 6-Iron PXG Pro V 1X club, aced the par-3 16th hole, adding a thrilling highlight to the competition.

Uganda Golf Union president, Dr. Jackson Were, attended the prize-giving ceremony, praising the event’s success and pledging support for future tournaments.
