Tyrrell Hatton opened the Hero Dubai Desert Classic with a 1-under 71, largely affected by a double bogey on the 8th, after carding three bogey-free birdies in his first seven holes.

Hatton bounced back in style, carding eight birdies and one bogey in the second round to finish 7-under for the tournament. The performance saw him climb more than 40 places on the leaderboard to sit in a share of third place after 36 holes.

A day later, the Englishman carded another solid round with an eagle, five birdies, and three bogeys (4 under for the round) to finish in a share of second place, just one shot behind 54-hole leader Daniel Hillier.

In the final round, Hatton carded five birdies and two bogeys (3 under for the round), while Hillier could only manage one under to drop to second place. It was Tyrrell Hatton's eighth win on the DP World Tour and 13th of his professional career.

It is also Hatton's third victory worldwide in his last 13 official starts. He won the LIV Golf Nashville in June, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in October, and the Hero Dubai Deserts Classic in January.
