FITZPATRICK DOES THE DOUBLE AT ALFRED DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP

Matt Fitzpatrick enjoyed double delight at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship as a closing 66 at St Andrews clinched the individual title and helped him take team honours alongside mum Susan. The Englishman had sat on the lead for two days after torrential rain saw the weekend washed out and the event pushed to Monday and reduced to 54 holes.

Better conditions greeted the field for the final round across St Andrews, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie but nobody could get past Fitzpatrick, who reached 19 under to win by three shots from countrymen Marcus Armitage and Matthew Southgate and defending champion Ryan Fox. In the team event, Susan contributed three birdies and an eagle in a 59 that got the pair to 35 under and sealed a five-shot triumph.
