Tyrrell Hatton leads Dunhill Links heading into final round (The Associated Press)

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) -- Tyrrell Hatton equaled the course record at St. Andrews to take control of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Saturday.

The English golfer carded 10 birdies in a flawless 62 on the Old Course, and will take a three-shot lead over compatriot Ross Fisher into Sunday's final round at the same venue, one of three used for the pro-am event.

Hatton, ranked 53 in the world, finished 17 under par in pursuit of his first European Tour title.

''(It's) quite clearly the best round I've ever had,'' Hatton said.
