Tom McKibbin has won the prestigious Junior Invitational title at Sage Valley Golf Club.
The Golfing Union of Ireland player opened his tournament with a blistering eight-under-par 64 that featured seven birdies and an eagle. After handing three shots back to the course in windy conditions on day two, McKibbin would recover to shoot a final round 71 and win by one stroke.
“Just to be here is special,” McKibbin said. “And obviously to win today was unbelievable. I couldn’t ask for anything better."
Three other European players finished in the top-10. England's Joe Pagdin ended the tournament three shots back in a tie for fourth, Italy's Andrea Romano placed eighth on level-par, and Spain's David Puig claimed 9th on one-over-par.
