Abu Dhabi leader Hatton proves major displays were no fluke
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Tyrrell Hatton grabbed the consciousness of the wider golfing public with his top-10 finishes at the British Open and U.S. PGA Championship last year.
Hatton, a 25-year-old from England, followed up his impressive performances in the majors by winning his first senior title at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and finishing second at the season-ending World Tour Championship in Dubai.
A host of big names — including major champions in Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer and Henrik Stenson — are within three shots in the European Tour's strongest field of the year, so Sunday's final round will be a big test of Hatton's resolve.
