Tanzania’s lady professional golfer Angel Eaton has returned to play in the Johnnie Walker Uganda Pro Open that tees off from September 1-5 at the Uganda Golf Club.

Eaton, who is a teaching Pro, returns to the very course where she won the 2017 Uganda Ladies Open as an amateur.

“It’s great to be back in Uganda,” Eaton said. “I still have fond memories of this course, and I am looking forward to playing on it again.”

Eaton will be joined by other female professionals Flavia Namakula, Irene Nakalembe and Evah Magala.

She is one of many foreign professionals taking part in this year’s edition. Other Pros that have already checked in include Nigeria’s hotshot Godwin Okoko, Sunday Olapade, Tajudeen Ajayi, Andrew Och Odoh, and Zimbabwe’s Visitor Mapwanya.

Last year’s winner Celestin Nsazuwera, his brother Alloys Nsabimana, and Jules Mutesa have also checked in, with many more professionals from Kenya expected.

Meanwhile, Uganda’s onslaught will be led by the likes of Ronald Rugumayo, Grace Kasango, Phillip Kasozi, Rodel Gaita, and Abraham Ainamani.

On paper, it’s anybody’s open to win, with the course in good, pristine condition.

The prize kitty is 146 million, with the winner pocketing 31 million.
