5 golfers who surpassed their odds at the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

1) Tyrrell Hatton

Tyrrell Hatton was among the favorites to win the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, but he still had to contend with European stalwarts like Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm. However, Hatton held his nerve, leaving little chance for the others.

Hatton also fired a 61 on Day 3, equaling the course record at St. Andrews Links. This was his third title here making him the most successful player at the tournament.

2) Nicolas Colsaerts

Nicolas Colsaerts was one of the standout performers this week, finishing runner-up at St. Andrews, just one shot behind Hatton.

It was an impressive performance by Colsaerts, especially considering he wasn’t even among the top 20 favorites going into the event.

3) Robin Williams
