Simon Dyson stormed his way to victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, firing a near-flawless 66 on the famous Old Course at St Andrews.

The Englishman, who won the KLM Open in August, held off strong challenges from Rory McIlroy and Oliver Wilson, but after four birdies in his first five holes, the 31-year-old never looked like surrendering his lead.

The €540,440 prize money also means Dyson has fired himself into the Race to Dubai's top ten.

Next week the European Tour heads to Centro Nacional de Golf, Madrid, Spain, for the Madrid Masters.
