Speaking after receiving the trophy, Agbo said: “I never thought I was going to win. I was just playing my normal game hoping that after the rounds may be something will come out. I had my best shot on hole 16th and when I clapped up the tin ball and hit the ball, it was just a few meters to the pin, I kicked the third time and got a par there. From that moment on, I hit other pars up to five and which I have I never played like that before in this golf course.

“So, I feel great winning the tournament and it was a wonderful today for me because this is my first major title in my golf career,” he said.
