Dyson Captures Dunhill Links Title

Simon Dyson captured the Dunhill Links Championship on Monday after shooting a 6 under par final round of 66, finishing 3 shots ahead of Oliver Wilson and Rory McIlroy.

The 31 year old finished on 20 under par for the four rounds, winning a career best £485,850, and moves him into the world's top 50 players for the first time. Having already won the Dutch Open in August, Dyson moves to the top of Europe's Ryder Cup standings.

Luke Donald had led going into the final round, delayed after gale-force winds on Saturday, but he carded 73, ending a disappointing six shots back.

GB & Ireland Claim Vivendi Trophy

Great Britain and Ireland won their fifth successive Vivendi Trophy, losing the Sunday singles matches 6-4 but claiming the overall victory 16½-11½.

They only needed two points from the 10 singles matches, reduced to 1½ before play started when Anthony Wall withdrew with a shoulder injury. Rory McIlroy beat Henrik Stenson on the final green, and with Graeme McDowell scoring a 3&2 victory over Robert Karlsson, the win was complete.

Star of the final day was Anders Hansen, who was an incredible 10 under par for the 12 holes it took him to demolish Nick Dougherty - three under himself - by a 7&6 margin, the biggest in the event's history.
