Tyrrell Hatton makes history at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by becoming the first three-time winner Tyrrell Hatton has won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship for a third time Hatton equalled the course record with an 11-under-par round on Saturday He was less hot on Sunday but still held off a challenge from Nicolas Colsaerts By Riath Al-samarrai Published: 18:07 EDT, 6 October 2024 | Updated: 18:07 EDT, 6 October 2024 e-mail View comments Tyrrell Hatton journeyed through a back-nine wobble and the Valley of Sin on his way to a slice of history by claiming a one-stroke victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday. In doing so, the Englishman became the only man to claim the title three times and it was achieved in compelling fashion at St Andrews after he had allowed a procession to turn into a late drama. The 32-year-old had held a three-shot lead with six to play, but Nicolas Colsaerts pulled level after a Hatton double at the 13th was followed by a bogey at the 14th.
With the pair even as Hatton played the last, the Ryder Cup veteran delivered a brilliant chip across the famed trench that guards the 18th green to set up a three-footer for birdie. With the putt drained for a 70, Hatton’s 24-under-par secured his first win on the DP World Tour since defecting to LIV last year and booked his place in next month’s Tour Championship in Dubai.
