Tom McKibbin earned a PGA Tour card with his last putt at the DP Tour World Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates on Sunday.

The 21-year-old closed out his final round in Dubai with a birdie, finishing tied for 11th and earning himself enough points to nab the final of the ten cards on offer. McKibbin finished just 10.43 points ahead of England's Jordan Smith in the rankings.
