Hatton moves to No. 30 in world following Turkey playoff win

Tyrrell Hatton's sunset-defying victory in Turkey earned him a healthy jump in the latest Official World Golf Rankings.

Hatton was the last man standing in a six-man playoff at the Turkish Airlines Open, having parred the fourth and final playoff hole in the dark under floodlights. Hatton started the year ranked 23rd but had fallen to 48th; now with another Rolex Series trophy to his name he's back up to 30th in the world.

That position ensures that he'll earn a return to the Masters next spring, with the top 50 in the year-end rankings all qualifying for the first major of 2020.
