Callaway Staffer Tom McKibbin delivered a commanding performance at the Hong Kong Open, winning by an impressive seven shots to secure a wire-to-wire victory on the Asian Tour International Series.
McKibbin set the tone early with a course-record 60 on Thursday and never looked back, closing with a superb final-round 63 to seal the title in dominant fashion.
With the victory, McKibbin earns a coveted place in the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale and secures his first-ever start at The Masters next April, a milestone moment in his professional career.
Speaking on the achievement, McKibbin said: “Very excited to go back and play my third Open, it’ll be very cool. And to have that drive down Magnolia Lane for the first time ever will be even more special.”
McKibbin’s setup featured key Callaway equipment including the new Apex UT Iron (18°) and two Opus SP Wedges, which played an important role in his precision and control throughout the week.
