Alfred Dunhill Links Championship 2016: Final Leaderboard, Prize Money Payouts

Tyrrell Hatton blazed his way to the 2016 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship crown on Sunday after a fourth-round score of 66 saw him beat joint runners-up Richard Sterne and Ross Fisher by four shots.

The Briton finished on 23 under par after four rounds of the tournament, while Sterne and Fisher were tied on 19 under, struggling to keep up with the meteoric pace set by Hatton over the weekend.

Hatton’s first-ever European Tour win netted him a €711,073 (£640,000) share of the overall prize pot, not to mention bagging him 711,073 Race to Dubai points to go along with his major haul.
