McKibbin on Course: Will He Claim the Title AND a Masters Ticket? Tom McKibbin is on the cusp of his first Asian Tour title at the Link Hong Kong Open.
On Moving Day, he fired a round of 65, bringing him to an incredible 20-under. What a sensational round!
The LIV star already made a statement on Thursday, celebrating a round of 60 (10-under-par!). He has led the field ever since. With two consecutive five-under-par days on Friday and Saturday, McKibbin is in prime position to clinch this prestigious victory. He's on a roll!
But it's not just about the victory. For the 22-year-old, there's much more at stake: tickets to The Masters and The Open Championship 2026! This week's champion will earn a spot in both Majors – a real game-changer for his career, wouldn't you say?
Heading into the final round, McKibbin holds just a one-shot lead over American MJ Maguire. And Maguire absolutely lit it up on Saturday, conjuring up an incredible round of 61 (nine-under-par)! He now stands at 19-under. Four twos on his scorecard, plus seven birdies and an eagle – that speaks volumes. Maguire is fully dialed in and eager to top his 2024 Black Mountain Championship victory on the Asian Tour.
Get ready for a thrilling final, golf fans!
