Tom McKibbin will play at the Masters for the first time and also qualified for the British Open after breaking records at the Hong Kong Open to win by seven shots on Sunday.

The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland was a model of consistency all week at Fanling, leading from round one to triumph at the prestigious Asian Tour event in dominant fashion.

Belfast-born McKibbin, who won once on the European Tour in 2023, shot an official course-record 60 on the opening day Thursday to ignite his title charge.

In warm and overcast conditions on Sunday, and leading MJ Maguire by one shot overnight, McKibbin fired a final-round 63 to finish on 27-under 253.
