MORE TYRRELL HATTON STORIES<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it\u2019s really special. I was really nervous today. I didn\u2019t say anything to anyone in my team or even to Emily,\u201c Hatton replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I\u2019ve had some heartbreak around here and I felt like it was gonna be a difficult day. I\u2019m just really proud of how I played on the back 9. My putting was amazing. It certainly saved me all week, and it feels so good to win here.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I said, I was, like, weirdly nervous. So, I tried not to look at leaderboards too much, and then I just caught a glimpse of where I was on the sixth, the par three.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I tried not look at a leaderboard again until, I think it was the par five, 14. So, yeah, I was just trying to keep my head down and make birdies.\u201c<\/p>\n

Tyrrell Hatton feeling nervous before his final round in Dubai was obviously down to his previous failures at the Earth Course.<\/p>\n

The Englishman is usually extremely comfortable when leading golf tournaments, so the nerves he felt before teeing it up on the first hole on Sunday would have been completely alien to him.<\/p>\n

Tyrrell Hatton is back at the top of his game now, and he will be delighted with the manner in which he played this week in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Hatton is now entering the next stage of his career and he will be hopeful that an incredibly exciting future awaits him.<\/p>\n
