Tom McKibbin’s third-round 65 continued his dominance of the Hong Kong Open, boosting his chances of being a top-ranked player in the Masters and Open Championship next year.
McKibbin recorded one bogey and two birdies in Day Three of the tournament in Fanling after posting a course record of 60 and carding a second-round 65.
The 22-year-old would add another birdie on the 12th before the 18th and 17th holes combined for a total of 65 on the day.
The 2026 Masters winner will advance to the event, while the top-placed non-exempt player will advance to the 154th Open.
