CLLEGE GROVE, TN – Tyrrell Hatton had a three and a half year dry spell come to an end today as he won the individual event in Nashville

“Having not won for 3-1/2 years, you wonder if you’d be able to do it again in some way,” said Hatton, who was never seriously threatened in the final round. “It’s a pretty special feeling to win again.”

Hatton romped to victory Sunday at LIV Golf Nashville, shooting a final-round 65 for a six-shot win over Majesticks GC’s Sam Horsfield. That ties for the second largest winning margin in LIV Golf history, and his 19-under total ties for the second lowest score.

Hatton’s Legion XIII teammate Jon Rahm had a lot to say about him.

“For all those out there who don’t know how good Tyrrell Hatton is, this is sure proof,” said Rahm, who finished in a four-way tie for third. “I think today just shows how good he can be. Obviously, it’s never easy to win, and to win by six in three rounds is quite impressive.

Legion XIII broke out to a 10-stroke lead in the early stage. All four Legion XIII players shot under par, which helped them to their win

This is Legion XIII’s third team victory this year (Mayakoba, Miami).
