Hatton prevails at tough Bay Hill

-

Tyrrell Hatton played bogey-free over the final seven holes at Bay Hill for a twoover-par 74 to win the Arnold Palmer Invitation­al by one stroke in Orlando, Fla.

It was Hatton’s fifth win worldwide and first on the PGA Tour. The Englishman, 28, edged second-place finisher Marc Leishman (73) on another day of blustery, brittle conditions. Hatton finished at four-under 284, one of only four players who beat par for the week.
