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.
He is proving the hot summer was no fluke.
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.
Now, at a career-high ranking of No. 23, he is closing in on an ever bigger result.
Hatton rolled in an 8-foot birdie on the 18th hole for a 4-under-par 68 and the outright lead after three rounds of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on Saturday.
