That was sufficient to see him secure one of the nine places on offer as he finished in a tie for sixth at the close of the 36-hole event. McKibbin carded seven birdies today and the only blemish on his scorecard was a double bogey on the par-four ninth hole.
He was level par for his round after 11 holes, but produced a sensational finish with birdies on the 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th and 18th.
The 21-year-old will now tee off at Pinehurst for the third golf Major of the 2024 season on 13-16 June. The tournament in North Carolina will see McKibbin feature in a Major for the first time.
The other qualifiers were Scotland’s Grant Forrest, the English quartet of Richard Mansell, Brandon Robinson-Thompson, Sam Bairstow, and Robert Rock, the Italian pair of Edoardo Molinari and Matteo Manassero, and Australian Jason Scrivener.
