McKibbin led by two shots heading into the final round at the Royal Cape Golf Club after a blistering 10-under-par second round of 62 on Friday catapulted Tom into contention heading into the weekend. Paired with defending champion JC Ritchie on the final day, Tom fought till the end eventually signing for a one over par 73 to finish in T3 position, three back from the winning score.
Tom will now head to Durban for his second event on the Challenge Tour.
