Tomoyo ikemura

Hong Kong Golf Club: Tom McKibbin’s first-ever start on the Asian Tour will be remembered for a long time as he won the USD 2 million Hong Kong Open at the prestigious Hong Kong Golf Club here on Sunday.

A final-round seven-under-par 63 saw the Northern Irishman complete a stunning start-to-finish victory in the celebrated tournament, with a four-round aggregate of 27-under 253.

American Peter Uihlein was his nearest challenger. Uihlein closed with a 68 to finish seven behind, while Tomoyo Ikemura (65) from Japan, South African Louis Oosthuizen (67), and America’s MJ Maguire (70) tied for third, a shot further back in the seventh of nine events on The International Series, the set of LIV Golf-backed tournaments on the Asian Tour calendar.
