Tyrrell Hatton holds off late Ross Fisher flurry to retain Dunhill Links title

Defending champion Hatton, who began the day with a five-shot lead, held off the late challenge of Ross Fisher, whose brilliant 61 set a new course record, and Frenchman Victor Dubuisson to become the first man to retain the crown.

Hatton, 25, opened up a seven-shot lead with four birdies on the front nine and gained a further shot on the 14th — he dropped only two shots during the tournament — to finish three ahead of fellow Englishman Fisher for his second European Tour title.
