NORTHERN IRELAND ROOKIE Tom McKibbin has stormed to the top of the leaderboard on the opening day of the Singapore Classic on the DP World Tour, shooting a superb eight-under round of 64.

He went bogey-free across his first round, birdieing his second, fourth, and ninth holes before then catching fire on the back nine, notching three-straight birdied before closing out with another two.
Elsewhere, Gary Hurley is tied for 25th after a three-under round of 69, while John Murphy shot a two-over 74, where he is tied with Scotland’s Robert McIntyre.
