Tyrrell Hatton was among the European Ryder Cup stars who played and indeed impressed at the BMW PGA Championship.

Hatton finished T5 at Wentworth, where he was joined by his Ryder Cup teammates Matt Fitzpatrick and Viktor Hovland.

Also ending their weeks at the BMW Championship on 15-under were Kim Si Woo, Ewen Ferguson and Darren Fichardt.

Hatton carded rounds of 69, 70, 64 and 70 at Wentworth, where Alex Noren emerged victorious via a playoff.

The Swede, who will be a Ryder Cup vice captain for Europe at Bethpage Black, edged out Adrien Saddier.

How Tyrrell Hatton feels about his golf swing ahead of the Ryder Cup

Noren outshone all of the European Ryder Cup players at the DP World Tour event, although Hatton was among those who were able to find form at the right time.

The Englishman shared a verdict on his current game during the final round at Wentworth, having spoken to Sky Sports Golf while walking down the seventh hole.

He said: “I’m just trying to get myself opportunities on every hole – I’ve basically had a birdie putt for the first six holes but unfortunately only two have gone in so far.

“It’s going fine. I have a moan and then by the next shot I’m getting really focused and know what I’m trying to do.

“I feel fairly good, somewhat comfortable with my swing. I’m just trying to keep hitting good golf shots. Hopefully some putts will drop.”

How every European Ryder Cup player performed at the BMW PGA Championship

Hatton was one of the six European players to automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup, and the only LIV Golf representative.

And his latest display – which at one stage included a share of the lead – will really please captain Donald, who will be satisfied with his players in general at this moment in time.

Rasmus Hojgaard and Robert MacIntyre did miss the cut, but Fitzpatrick and Hovland joined Hatton in the top five.

Hatton’s fellow LIV Golf player Jon Rahm finished T13th, followed by Rory McIlroy and Ludvig Aberg in T20th.

Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry meanwhile tied for 46th, with Justin Rose finishing his week at Wentworth in 61st.

There is, of course, the added bonus of Noren claiming the title, which can only be a positive for Team Europe at Bethpage Black.
