Tyrrell Hatton keeps winning over US Open fans not only with brilliant play but amusing explosions
PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) - Tyrell Hatton had every reason to explode after the fiery Englishman caught a bad break on the back nine at Pinehurst No. 2.
He was near the top of the U.S. Open leaderboard Friday and had just rammed his drive down the middle of the fairway, leaving him a short iron into an elevated green. He hit it so perfectly that the ball descended into the back of the cup, leaving quite a bit of damage in its wake, only to spin out of it, off the green and into a deep bunker.
Hatton proceeded to march to the green, stood over the hole as officials repaired it and … laughed.
"I hit a really good second shot in," he said later, almost shrugging. "Obviously too good."
