Hatton wins Dunhill Links for 1st European Tour title (The Associated Press)

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) -- Tyrrell Hatton won his first European Tour title after taking apart the Old Course at St. Andrews for the second straight day in an impressive display of front-running at the Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Englishman, who had a three-shot lead overnight, followed up a course record-tying, bogey-free 62 at the home of golf on Saturday with a 6-under 66 in the final round. He finished on a total of 23 under par (265).

Hatton won by four shots from Richard Sterne (66) and Ross Fisher (67) to earn about $800,000 - easily the biggest pay check of his career.
