Seven days on from winning last week’s Alfred Dunhill Championship, the 26-year-old South African added his national title to an already burgeoning resume with victory in the South African Open at Sun City.
Instead of merely betting on the winner, this brilliant/lucky punter parlayed 20 different head-to-head match-ups for one round of the tournament. And wouldn’t you believe it, but he got every single one right.
Hatton had a photo of himself as a child, standing beside the 18th green at Wentworth that surfaced this week and became part of this clever social media push from the European Tour after Hatton’s victory.
Although he admitted to struggling with the rhythm of his swing over the course of the final round, the now five-time European Tour champion gave what was generally a near-textbook example of how to play with a lead.
