Tyrell Hatton survived a tense final hole to finish one shot ahead of Daniel Hillier and capture the Dubai Desert Classic. Hatton went into the final hole two shots clear of Hillier; however, the Englishman was forced to dispatch a par putt to win the event following his opponent’s birdie.

Holding off New Zealand's Daniel Hillier by one and Englishman Laurie Canter by two, Hatton, one of Europe’s Ryder Cup stars, despite his move to Jon Rahm’s Legion XVIII with LIV Golf, overcame a one-stroke deficit heading into round four.
