Tyrrell Hatton is known for his combustible temper. It was on display early in the U.S. Open, when the ardent Liverpool FC fan tried to free kick an iron off a tee box. He also tends to speak his mind in a wholly endearing way, and that has made him a favorite among golf fans.

“It is so hard, and generally par isn’t a bad score,” Hatton said, repeating an oft-said-but-accurate U.S. Open trope. “It’s I guess accepting sometimes that if you have hit a good shot and you get a bad break, it kind of — although it stings, just trying to move on from that. I’d say I’ve done better at that the last two days than maybe I have done so far this year.
Hatton’s animus extends far and wide, though, and even to fellow members of the Saudi-backed circuit. At the Masters in April, he ripped a group ahead of him that included LIV member Patrick Reed for its laborious pace of play. Yet it is exactly those outbursts that have endeared Hatton to so many fans. Every player at every level can relate to the angst he experiences on the course, whether it be other professionals or the Sunday hacker who snaps his putter over his knee on the first hole and spends the rest of his day putting with a wedge.
His ball wound up clearing the greenside bunker and stopped as close to the hole as anyone had come all day. He made birdie.
