Yet, the two players signed for identical 72s to finish to be tied together on eight-over-par 288 in 42nd place when the final putts on the 18th green were rolled in, at exactly the same time as the final pairing of Bryson DeChambeau and Matthieu Pavon were announced and also when a loud roar drifted up from the first green where Rory McIlroy rolled in a birdie putt to start.
The stuff of boyhood dreams for McKibbin, materialising in his still-fledgling professional career as he seeks to add to a CV that already features a win on the DP World Tour in last year’s Porsche European Open. While McKibbin’s first time at a Majors sent him away wanting more, Lowry’s resilience after the travails of the Memorial once again showcased his big-time mentality. He is a tough cookie, for sure.
