Alfred Dunhill Links Championship recent form picks
The Englishman triumphed at the Open de France by three shots last and, while back-to-back wins are difficult, he may well be worth a small interest again at St Andrews. Prior to France, he was sixth at the BMW PGA Tour Championship.
The Scot was T10 last time out at the BMW PGA Championship and T14 prior to that at the Irish Open. This week he is the defending champion so, back in his country, in front of a lively crowd, he could be one to have onside.
The Dane made the top 10 in France and was T15 at the BMW PGA Championship the week before. Finishing 23rd at the Irish Open wasn't a bad performance either. He's missed the cut here for two years on the trot but finished 10th in 2024.
Alfred Dunhill Links Championship course form picks
Englishman Hatton has a superb history of course form at St Andrews: finishing second last year when he was defending the title, as well as second in 2021 and 2018.
Fleetwood withdrew from the Open de France and his best recent finish was 11th at last month's Tour Championship. But he enjoys playing at St Andrews, finishing third in 2024 and second back in 2018.
With two 12th place finishes at this week's venue (in 2024 and 2021) and, best of all, a second place in 2022, the Swede is a fan of playing at St Andrews. Last time out on the tour, he finished T15 at the BMW PGA Championship.
Note: Once again, the three courses being used for this week's Pro-Am are The Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.
