As reported by Daily Trust, Godwin Koko clinched the overall title at the inaugural International Capital Market Association (ICMA) PRO-AM Open Golf Tournament 2024 in Il?rin, Kwara State.

Representing the IBB Golf Course, Koko finished with an impressive score of 18 under par at the four-day tournament.

Other winners included Mrs Obioma E. who won the Best Net with 186 gross in the female category, Moses O. and Adeleke A. (174 and 163 grosses in the two male categories and Adelodun A with 92 gross in the veteran contest.

Okoko first gained recognition at the 5th National Youth Games in Ilorin and has since made a name for himself in the sport.

Commenting on his journey, the new champion said “Each tournament is a stepping stone, and I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to grow as a player.

“I came here to give it my best shot, but winning was beyond what I expected,” he said.
