About Roope Kakko
- Roope Kakko (born 13 February 1982) is a Finnish professional golfer. Kakko was born in Espoo, Finland.
- He started playing golf at the age of five. In 2004, Kakko became only the third amateur to win a tournament on the Challenge Tour, when he won his home event, the Volvo Finnish Open.
- The win earned him a Tour card for the following season, and having turned professional later in 2004, he joined the Challenge Tour full-time.
- He was a regular on the tour for the next five seasons, although he did not win again, with a best finish on the money list of 27th in 2008, when he was twice a runner-up.
- His strong 2008 season gained Kakko entry into a small number of European Tour events, and he capitalised on those opportunities by making successive top-10 finishes at the 2009 BMW Italian Open and 3 Irish Open.
- Despite these successes, his limited playing opportunities meant Kakko returned to the Challenge Tour full-time in 2010, but at the end of that season he came through the Qualifying School to secure full membership of the European Tour for the first time.
- In October 2013, Kakko would win at the National Bank of Oman Golf Classic on the Challenge Tour.
