20-year-old Holywood man ignoring comparisons to McIlroy in quest to be his own player

McKibbin is used to it. From the same Holywood Golf Club that brought us Rory McIlroy, the comparisons were planted on his shoulders from a young age. McKibbin, though, is very much his own man and doing his own thing since turning professional when snubbed by the Walker Cup selectors and moving into the paid ranks quicker than planned.

But McIlroy remains an inspiration, that classic final round duel to get the better of Patrick Reed the latest moment to inspire. “Honestly it’s pretty inspiring, seeing what he did. Rory is such a good player, it is cool to watch. I’ve been fortunate enough to play with him a good few times and it is pretty cool for me.”
