England’s Tyrrell Hatton emerged triumphant at the 2025 Hero Dubai Desert Classic, securing a thrilling one-stroke victory over New Zealand’s Daniel Hillier. Hatton finished with a total of 15-under-par across four rounds, showcasing remarkable consistency and determination.
Hatton started the tournament with a steady 71 on day one but turned up the heat with an impressive 65 in the second round. His performances of 68 and 69 in the third and final rounds allowed him to climb from second place heading into the last day to claim the title.
The Spaniard used the platform to express his concerns over the current World Golf Rankings system, taking a dig at the lack of Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points for players competing on the LIV Golf circuit.
Hatton’s victory adds another significant milestone to his career and sets a strong tone for the year ahead.
