Tyrell Hatton Lives Up To His Billing With More Open Outbursts

Tyrell Hatton Lives Up To His Billing With More Open Outbursts

Tyrell Hatton is nearly as known for his on course outbursts as he is for his golf game, which has seen him sit as high as fifth in the world rankings.

Over the last few Open Championships we have been treated to the full range of Hatton outbursts, including club throws and club breaks.

Today's second round had been going well for the Englishman, and he tee'd up on 18 at two under par and in the top-10.

However, as Rickie Fowler discovered on the first day, the last hole at Hoylake has the potential to ruin a round with its out-of-bounds on the right.

Hatton went even worse than Rickie, slicing two drives out of bounds and his third onto fairway of the first hole.

He ended up with a 9, and nearly in danger of missing the cut, after which, the gun animation that we saw at the Masters in 2022 was brought out.

After his opening round, Hatton wasn't too displeased, but had no idea what he would face in 24 hours time.

"Got off to a nice start and then just struggled on the back nine, to be honest," he said after shooting level par yesterday.

"Ball-striking today wasn't great. Yeah, just found it really hard. Couldn't figure it out.

"Level par isn't a bad score when I felt like I was really struggling.

"Yeah, well, you can't win the tournament today, you can only kind of lose it, and what are we, five back? Which with three rounds to go is nothing.

"Hopefully wake up tomorrow with a better golf swing and I'll go out there and try my best again and see what we can do.
