Twenty-eight Kenyan professional golfers have left the country for the Entebbe Open in Uganda, where they will compete against 21 Ugandan professionals and two international players.
Leading the strong Kenyan contingent is 2018 Uganda Open champion Dismas Indiza, who will be joined by Tony Omuli of Golf Park and Royal Nairobi's Erick Ooko.
Ooko, who lost to Omuli in a play-off at the third leg of the Safari Tour, said he has been working on his driving and short game since the third leg at Royal Nairobi Golf Club.
"I am leaving this evening for the practice round on Tuesday before the first round. I intend to stay in Uganda for the Serena Open from November 6, then I fly to Lilongwe for the Malawi Open," said Ooko.
Missing in the Kenyan list is Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club pro Rizwan Charania, who is currently tied with Thika Sports Club's Simon Ngige at the top of the points table in the "Road to Magical Kenya Open 2020" Order of Merit.
