Tyrrell Hatton Punches, Scolds Putter Despite Creeping at U.S. Open

Tyrrell Hatton is one of the angriest players in the professional golf realm. Fans love to see him react on the golf course, and are always watching to see what he does.

Hatton was among the LIV Golf players with the best chance to win the U.S. Open and is in contention at Oakmont after he signed for a 2-under 68 on Moving Day to sit just five shots back of leader, Sam Burns.

However, if you watch this video, it you would think his putter just ruined everything for him.

At the par-3 16th, he had 15 feet for birdie and the perfect line, but it was not hit hard enough. The ball came close, but did not drop into the hole.

Hatton punched his putter face after that putt and yelled at it. He typically does that stuff, but usually when he plays poorly.

The 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational winner needed to correct his putter for not hitting the ball hard enough. The funny thing is the 33-year-old made a birdie on the next hole.

Granted, the Englishman’s flat stick was his worst in the bag as he lost -0.41 in strokes gained putting on Saturday.

Hatton recorded four birdies, a bogey and one double at 15. He hit 13-of-14 fairways and picked up +1.43 off the tee and +3.60 in strokes gained approach, third in the field, per. For the most part, he seemed to be pleased with his performance.

“Last week I felt like I started to drive the ball a bit better and see the usual shape of the ball moving left to right, and just taking that into this week and trying to keep doing the same things, and so far I feel like I’ve driven the ball pretty well,” Hatton said. “Certainly, today was great, and I’m happy with that.”

The Legion XIII has high standards for himself, and even when he saves par, that passion oozes out of him.
