  • Philip Ocholla, the technical director of the Africa Golf Confederation (AGC), praised the smooth organisation of the tournament.
  • "We received excellent cooperation from the greenkeeping team, operations director Donel Rama, tournament director Innocent Rutamu, and referee Vincent Wangh’ombe.
