Tom finished with a final round of 70 to finish nine under par, and was the only athlete to shoot all four rounds under par with rounds of 72-69-72-70. On the 18th hole, McKibbin found the green from 203 yards out of the semi-rough, leaving a comfortable two-putt with his TP Bandon putter and TP5x golf ball to claim a two-stroke victory.
Tom switched into a brand new TP Bandon putter this week, looking for some inspiration on the greens. He had half an eye on a putter change and noticed a putter on the tour truck that had actually been built for another Team TaylorMade athlete which caught his eye. Tom gave it a quick test and got to work with it on the putting green with TaylorMade Tour Technician, Alex Marine. Alex did a quick loft and lie and check, and with the putter equipped with a KBS graphite shaft, Tom was super comfortable with it right away. A graphite shaft can help with pace putting as it’s slightly softer in the tip, and the rest is history.
This was only McKibbin's 26th start on the DP World Tour after graduating from the European Challenge Tour, and he becomes the youngest Irish golfer to win on DP World Tour since fellow Team TaylorMade athlete (and Holywood, Northern Ireland), Rory McIlroy in 2009.
