Tom McKibbin took another step towards securing his PGA Tour card when he clinched his seventh top-10 of the season in the Danish Golf Championship.
The Holywood star (21) was 108th after an opening 74, but following a brace of 67s, he closed with a two-under 69 to tie for 10th on seven-under.
As a result, McKibbin moves from seventh to sixth in the race to win one of 10 PGA Tour cards for 2025 via the Race to Dubai.
The title went to France’s Frederic Lacroix (29), who came from four shots behind 54-hole leader Lucas Bjerregaard to claim his maiden DP World Tour win.
Lacroix carded a bogey-free six under par 65 to win by four strokes at Lübker Golf Resort from Bjerregaard and compatriot Romain Langasque to secure back-to-back wins for France following David Ravetto’s victory in the D+D REAL Czech Masters.
“It’s hard to realise yet; it will come a bit later,” Lacroix said. “I was just happy to finish my round. I had a good round, bogey-free today. So I’m very happy with how I did today.
“I’ve been close a few times, especially this year. I’ve just been improving the past few years, slowly but steadily. I just kept doing my thing and it’s nice to see it come together with the win today.
“It’s more seeing my friend David (Ravetto) win last week. It shows that it’s possible, it’s more than doable. I’m just lost for words now."
McKibbin won €43,816 to move up one spot to 13th in the Race to Dubai and take his winnings this season beyond the €1 million barrier.
