Tyrrell Hatton (Pro V1x) made birdie on the last to card a final round 2-under 70 at the Old Course and win by one shot, becoming the first ever three-time winner of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Hatton, who shot an 11-under 61 around the Old Course on Saturday, posted 24 under over four rounds. (Rounds 1-3 were split between the Old Course, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.) Among players with four measured rounds, Hatton led the field in Strokes Gained: Approach (+1.85 per round). He hit 85% of his greens in regulation (8th) and 67% of his fairways in regulation (16th).
HATTON ON HIS PRO V1X
“It’s more of a feel thing for me. I like the fact that it feels a little harder. It’s got a bit more of a click off the face. And for me, especially around the greens, that’s a big plus. I just feel like I have a bit more control, and I feel like it spins a little bit more as well.
“I’m very comfortable using the ball. It does what I need it to. That’s such a big part of what we do… Titleist has been the #1 ball in golf for so long, I grew up wanting to play that ball. It just seems very natural for me that that should be the ball that I use.”

KORN FERRY TOUR | Korn Ferry Tour Championship
Titleist Brand Ambassador Braden Thornberry closed with the low round of the day by two shots, a bogey-free 6-under 66, to earn his first Korn Ferry Tour win and lock up his 2025 PGA TOUR card in the process. Thornberry, gaming a Pro V1x golf ball, NEW GT3 driver, mixed set of T100 and 620 MB irons, Vokey Design wedges and Scotty Cameron putter, made six birdies on Sunday, including one on the closing hole, to storm from behind and win by one shot at 9 under. His Sunday charge made all the difference, as the former amateur world No. 1 was the only player to come from outside the top 30 in the KFT Points List at the start of the week and earn his PGA TOUR card. Thornberry jumped all the way up to No. 16 in the standings with his victory.
Over the four rounds at French Lick, Thornberry made 20 birdies (2nd). He ranked 1st in Putts per GIR (1.61) and T7 in Scrambling, getting his Pro V1x up-and-down 19 of 26 attempts (73%), including 6-of-6 on Sunday.
