Adrian Meronk came from four shots behind to overtake Casey Jarvis and win the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by two shots on a gripping final day at St Andrews. The LIV Golfer clinched the fifth DP World Tour title of his career on Sunday, with Meronk posting a final-round score of 68. Jarvis held a two-stroke lead coming into day four at St Andrews, and after getting off to a fast start with back-to-back birdies on holes four and five, he slumped, making bogeys on holes nine and 11. Meronk gave Jarvis a chance to snatch the title late after he carded a bogey on the 17th to cut a three-shot lead to two.
However, Jarvis would also miss the green on the 17th and make bogey. The South African needed an eagle on the 18th to force a play-off, but he couldn’t get his putt to drop, ultimately finishing tied for second alongside Niklas Nørgaard after carding a final round 72. The DP World Tour heads to Madrid next week for the Open de Espana.
