The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland was a model of consistency all week at Fanling, leading from round one to triumph at the prestigious Asian Tour event in dominant fashion.
Belfast-born McKibbin, who won once on the European Tour in 2023 and now plays on the LIV Golf tour, shot an official course-record 60 on the opening day on Thursday to ignite his title charge.
In warm and overcast conditions on Sunday, and leading MJ Maguire by one shot overnight, McKibbin fired a final-round 63 to finish on 27 under.
He shot eight birdies in his final round including five in his last nine holes.
“I dreamt of doing this since I was a young kid, and they come true if you train hard enough,” he said.
McKibbin is a club mate of five-time major winner Rory McIlroy, the current Masters champion.
Peter Uihlein was second at 20 under and his fellow American Maguire was tied third another shot back. (AFP)
