Jarvis held a two-stroke lead coming into day four at St Andrews, and after getting off to a fast start with back-to-back birdies on holes four and five, he slumped, making bogeys on holes nine and 11.

A thrilling finish unravelled, with Meronk, who held a two-shot lead going into the final three holes, giving Jarvis a chance to cut the gap on the 17th after the Cleeks GC player carded a bogey.

But Jarvis couldn't move within one shot, with the South African missing the green on the penultimate hole, going down for a bogey.

It meant he would go down the fairway on the 18th needing to make an eagle to force a play-off, and despite driving to the fringes of the green, he was unable to sink a long, winding putt on the last, ultimately confirming Meronk's victory.

Jarvis, who posted a final round 72, would finish tied for second with Niklas Nørgaard, who carded three birdies in his final five holes to surge up the leaderboard.

World No 979 Michael Stewart enjoyed a fairytale week at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, as the 36-year-old, who was playing on the Tartan Pro Tour last week, placed tied for fourth with Tommy Fleetwood, at 16-under.

Brooks Koepka earned his first top-10 finish on both the DP World Tour and PGA Tour since March, with the American joining last year's Alfred Dunhill Links Champion Robert MacIntyre at 16 under to tie for sixth place.

England's Matthew Jordan, who began the day two shots back from overnight leader Jarvis, endured a day to forget, as he slumped down the leaderboard to tied-11th, after he posted a three-over 75 at the Old Course.

Open de France champion Matt Fitzpatrick would also fall down the leaderboard to tied-17th after he wrapped up his final round at level par.
