2014 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Results

The four rounds have now concluded at the 2014 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, which was played at Old Course as St. Andrews, Carnoustie, and Kingsbarn, in Scotland. The winner this year is Oliver Wilson, with a score of 17-under (-17) and a one shot lead over the likes of Tommy Fleetwood, Rory McIlroy, and Richie Ramsie. This is Wilson's first European Tour win in over 220 European Tour events, nine of which he has finished in a runner up position. The cut this year was set at 3-under (after three days of play instead of the usual two).

Conditions at the Old Course were very benign on the weekend, with scores of 62 being shot by Louis Oosthuizen and Tommy Fleetwood. Kingsbarn and Carnoustie were also benign as well. On Saturday, Player of the Year Rory McIlroy was on track to shoot the lowest score of his professional career, but ended up faltering slightly during his final round (many would say due to fatigue). On Sunday, only the Old Course was being played, as per Alfred Dunhill Links Championship tradition.

On the Pro-Am side of things, Peter Lawrie and Kieran McManus were the winners, with a score of 37-under (-37). The cut for the pro-am event was also set for the top-20 pro-am teams.

As for the Ryder Cup members playing this week, Stephen Gallacher and Captain Paul McGinley both had good finishes, as T32 and T42. Good to see both of them playing well.

As for our picks (Victor Dubuisson, Martin Kaymer, and Simon Dyson), all of the were cut. Hopefully they'll play better in the next few events.

Congratulations once again to Oliver Wilson, a well deserved win! Stay tuned for more European Tour coverage,
