England’s Tyrell Hatton overturned Rory McIlroy’s overnight lead to win the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by four shots.
Australian Jason Scrivener also shot a 66 – and was seven-under for his back nine – to finish second on 14 under.
World number six McIlroy birdied the last to close with a level-par 72 and claim third spot on 13 under.
What a putt @TyrrellHatton!

McIlroy now has four second-place finishes, four thirds and a fifth in his last 10 starts in Abu Dhabi, but will be disappointed at failing to claim his first win since November 2019, especially after starting with a superb 64.
Englishmen Tommy Fleetwood, Chris Paisley and Matt Wallace ended the championship tied sixth on 10 under alongside Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti, one shot behind Scotland’s Marc Warren and David Lipsky of the United States.
