Tyrrell Hatton, results

The winner, member of LIV Golf, defeated by one shot the Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts, second with 265 (-23), who was one of the vice-captains of Team Europe in the Ryder Cup in Rome, where Hatton was one of the continental protagonists .

In third place with 267 (-21) the other Englishman Tommy Fleetwood and in fourth place with 269 (-19) the Spaniard David Puig, the South African Robin Williams and the Dane Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, just entered the big circuit after winning three tournaments on the Challenge Tour.

In seventh place with 270 (-18) are the Frenchman Tom Vaillant, the Chinese Haotong Li and the Spaniard Jon Rahm, one of the most expected protagonists together with the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy and the Scot Robert MacIntyre, 25th with 274 (-14).

Of the Italians, two won the prize: Francesco Laporta, 43rd with 267 (66 68 72 70, -12), and Lorenzo Scalise, 54th with 277 (69 69 67 72, -11), while Guido Migliozzi and Filippo Celli, 72nd with 208 (-8), and Renato Paratore, 111th with 211 (-5), were cut after three rounds.

Tyrrell Hatton, 32, from High Wycombe, recorded his seventh title on the DP World Tour and won for the third time in this tournament, for a list that also includes a win over LIV Golf, one on the PGA Tour, one on the PGA EuroPro Tour and one on the Jamega EuroPro Tour.

After expressing himself with a great 61 (-11, one eagle, nine birdies) in the third round on the Old Course, where the fourth was played (previously the competitors alternated on the three courses), Hatton eased into the 12th hole, with four birdies, but with a sudden blackout (double bogey and bogey on the 13th and 14th) he preferred the recovery of Colsaerts who caught him on the 15th with the fourth and last birdie of the day ( 70, -2, four birdies, two bogeys).

Then he could do nothing against his opponent’s third flag shot for the winning birdie. Worth mentioning is the albatross that the Belgian secured in the third round, where he hit with the second shot on the 15th hole (par 5, 565 yards) of the Kingsbarns Golf Links.

In the team competition, the Danes Thorbjorn Olesen and Dermont Desmond won with 240 (60 63 58 59, -48) shots. Hatton was rewarded with a check for $850,000 out of a $5,000,000 prize pool.
