Hatton holds nerve to clinch Dubai title from Hillier

SPORTS 19.01.2025

Tyrrell Hatton held his nerve to clinch the Dubai Desert Classic on the final hole from Daniel Hillier on Sunday.

Text size:

The pair walked up to the 18th tee with Hatton leading by two shots, but the pressure was on when New Zealander Hillier sunk a birdie putt.

Hatton was up to the challenge, making a seven-footer to secure his eighth European tour title by two shots and lift him top of the Race To Dubai rankings.

"A dream come true," smiled Hatton who equalled Jon Rahm's record of five Rolex Series wins.

He had started the day one behind Hillier.

Outgoing champion Rory McIlroy went down fighting with a final round surge, the Northern Irishman signing for a six under to finish fourth, one shot adrift of third-placed Laurie Canter.
