HAMBURG, Germany -- Tom McKibbin held off a German challenge to win the European Open in his debut season on the European tour on Sunday.
The 20-year-old from Northern Ireland started the final round as one of six players tied for the lead at 6 under par and went on to win by two shots on 9 under overall.
He finished his round of 3-under 70 with birdie on the par-five 18th after missing an eagle putt.
"Pretty amazing, it was a great day," McKibbin said. "It probably won't sink in until tomorrow."
Marcel Siem (71) and Maximilian Kieffer (70), who were both bidding to become the first German in 15 years to win a tour event on home soil, shared second place along with French player Julien Guerrier (72).
