Hillier shot a one-under 71 to finish in the final round of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic to finish in solo second place.
ANALYSISHillier carded four birdies against three bogeys in the final round, but was ultimately just one shot shy of forcing a playoff with
Tyrrell Hatton. The 26-year-old has just one prior win on the DP World Tour and that came in 2023 at the British Masters. Hillier has not missed a cut in his last nine starts and has six top-25s over that stretch. He'll look to keep the momentum rolling at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship.
