'Next Rory McIlroy' Tom McKibbin leads after Round Two of Singapore Classic

Northern Ireland golfer Tom McKibbin is in the lead after two rounds of the Singapore Classic.

McKibbin has been dubbed the 'next Rory McIlroy' and plays out of Hollywood Golf club.

And the 20-year-old sits top alongside Chinese amateur Wenyi Ding at 11 under par.

In his first round, McKibbin carded a bogey free eight under par but did have a couple of blemishes on his card today.

The youngster shot a four under par front nine but did have bogeys on holes 11 and 13 but did follow it up with a birdie on 14.

Last year, McKibbin became only the second teenager to break into the world top 300.

And the only other teenager to do that was none other than Rory McIlroy.
