Tom McKibbin has revealed he is unfazed by comparisons to Rory McIlroy, after earning his DP World Tour card. McKibbin secured his Tour membership following a superb final round six-under-par 66 at the Challenge Tour Grand Final last weekend.
His performance in Mallorca capped off yet another impressive week for the 19-year-old, having secured his eighth top 10 finish of the campaign. In collecting his card, McKibbin has become the youngest Irishman to do so since McIlroy.
And after following in the footsteps of the world's top golfer, it seems the youngster is more than used to being compared to his Northern Irish compatriot.
