We promise this isn’t your typical video of Tyrrell Hatton losing his cool. The English star has been known to get a bit fiery on the golf course – especially when it comes to critiquing said golf courses – but during round one of the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open, he showed some remarkable restraint. For Tyrrell Hatton, that is.
On the second hole of his first round, Hatton hit what an announcer described as a “horrid” approach shot. And upon impact he dropped the club with a loud thud so it’s not like he didn’t show any frustration. Again, this is Tyrrell Hatton we’re talking about. But what he did next will probably surprise you. Have a look and listen:
That’s right, he laughed. Like a maniac. “That was so bad,” the announcer says in the clip, “he didn’t even get angry at it.”
Hey, maybe those DP World Tour anger management classes are finally starting to pay off! In any event, Hatton’s reaction certainly didn’t hurt his score. After hitting that “horrid” shot, he managed to save par on his way to shooting an opening 69. So now he can laugh about it even more.
