England’s Tyrrell Hatton survived a late scare before securing a record third Alfred Dunhill Links Championship title at St Andrews.<\/b><\/p>\n

Hatton, 32, had equalled the course record<\/a> on Saturday to hold a one-shot lead going into the final day and he went three ahead thanks to four birdies in his first 11 holes.<\/p>\n

However, a double bogey at the 13th and a bogey at the 14th enabled Nicolas Colsaerts to grab a share of the lead with three holes remaining.<\/p>\n

But the 2016 and 2017 champion birdied the last hole from three feet to finish on 24 under – one shot ahead of his Belgian rival who left a long eagle putt from the Valley of Sin eight feet below the hole and was unable to convert the birdie attempt.<\/p>\n

Hatton also finished second in the team event alongside his father Jeff, the pair finishing two shots behind Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen and Irish businessman Dermot Desmond.<\/p>\n

“It’s the first time I’ve actually won the tournament with my dad here so it means a lot and to do it at the home of golf is really special,” said Hatton, who has been part of two winning Ryder Cup teams. <\/p>\n

“I’m trying not to cry, to be honest. I’m a bit lost for words.”<\/p>\n

The win ensures he will be at the DP World Tour’s season-ending event in Dubai and means he can also attend the upcoming wedding of Ryder Cup team-mate Matt Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

He went on: “I was meant to be going to Fitzy’s wedding the week of Spain [the Andalucia Masters] and I had to message him a few weeks ago to say if I don’t earn enough points I might not be able to go, and I felt so bad about that.<\/p>\n

“I guess having a little bit of extra motivation to play well and be able to be there for their special day [was good].”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
