Tyrrell Hatton admits hiding true feelings at The Open - 'It'll get me in trouble'
The Open Championship star Tyrell Hatton is not your typical golfer, wearing his heart on his sleeve and regularly finding himself in trouble courtesy of his foul-mouthed outbursts Tyrell Hatton admits he has tweaked his behaviour at Royal Portrush to avoid 'getting into trouble' during The Open Championship. The fiery Englishman has often come under scrutiny for his on-course behaviour. Examples range from snapping a club during the 2024 World Tour Championship in Dubai to calling his driver a 'piece of s***' after a triple bogey at Quail Hollow during the PGA Championship. That has seen the 33-year-old LIV star rack up fines and be labelled a 'terrible influence' by the likes of Ewen Murray. On Friday, during the second round of the 153rd Open, Hatton carded a 69 to sit five under at the halfway point. He was left visibly frustrated after reaching six under with a birdie two on the 13th, only to cover the final five holes in one over. Yet, he didn't react angrily as many would have expected, keeping his cool - at least on the surface. Hatton has now revealed that he has merely got better at keeping his frustrations to himself, still cursing but not letting the cameras and microphones pick up his expletives. Explaining how he has become more conscious of the impact his reactions have on his playing partners, he said: 'I don't know. I was still pretty vocal. Maybe I'm just having to do it away from the microphone.' When asked what he was telling himself between the 14th and final hole, he admitted: 'It was pretty negative stuff.' When asked to elaborate, Hatton replied: 'No, it'll get me in trouble.' He explained further: "I'm not going to change. It's just how I am, how I play. I'm 33. I think that ship has sailed, to be honest. 'I've always felt like even though I can be losing my s***, I can get over the next shot and still have a clear mind of what I'm still trying to achieve on that shot. Although from the outside it looks like I'm completely gone, in my own mind I still know where I'm at.' Asked whether it does him any harm, he noted: 'I've always said, as long as it's not affecting my playing partners. "Sure, there's been times I've probably gone too far and you comment on a putt when they're putting on the same line and then it maybe affects where they're hitting their putt. 'Stuff like that, I think that's part of what you learn as you get more experience, so I do try and avoid that kind of thing. But yeah, as long as I'm not affecting the other guys, then I'm not going to change.' Whatever people say about Hatton's conduct, he has been in impressive form of late, achieving a career-best T4 finish at the US Open last month. He was in contention for the lead with two holes left but back-to-back bogeys on the 17th and 18th holes scuppered his hopes. He also went into the final day at Royal Portrush in contention after a strong Saturday showing, carding a three-under par 68 which put him T4. Hatton also made a standout eagle at the par-5 seventh which drew roars from the crowd.

Rory McIlroy is officially a magician at the Open Championship
Rory McIlroy gave fans at the Open Championship something completely unexpected during his third-round play on Saturday. Rory McIlroy hits one ball... and another one appears from the dirt As he stood over a shot from the thick rough, McIlroy launched a clean stroke toward the green. But right after contact, something strange happened, another golf ball popped out of the ground right behind his. McIlroy briefly froze, then bent down and picked up the surprise ball, holding it up in disbelief while his original shot sailed through the air. Even he had to laugh. A wild golf moment at the Open leaves fans and Rory stunned The random ball appeared to be buried just under the surface. McIlroy's club must have clipped it on the way through. Though it looked bizarre, it didn't count against him, since he never meant to hit a second ball. Spectators and fans online couldn't believe it either. Social media quickly filled with clips and jokes, including one viewer asking if it should be considered a penalty. Rules experts chimed in, pointing out that as long as the second ball wasn't struck intentionally, McIlroy was in the clear. MORE: Everything to know about Open contender Tyrell Hatton One post summed it up perfectly: 'I've watched golf for 30 years. Never seen that before.' Rory heads into the final day six back of the leader, Scottie Scheffler, as he is tied in fourth with three others, at -8.

Tyrell Hatton reveals sinking Guinness is key to flying start at The Open as Englishman keeps a cool head
The English golfer has made an impressive start at Royal Portrush Tyrell Hatton says he won't ever stop losing his sh*t and pints of Guinness help him get over the fury and angst. The English star is bang in the mix at Royal Portrush after a second-day 69 moved him to five-under par. Hatton has taken his flying US Open form from Oakmont into Northern Ireland, but despite the magic moments, the furious outbursts and puzzled bewilderment remain. The Ryder Cup star smiled when it was put to him that he has found a way to keep a better lid on his emotions in the Major melting pot. Hatton said: 'I don't know. I was still pretty vocal. Maybe I'm just having to do it away from the microphone. 'No. It was pretty negative stuff, yeah. No [I won't share it]. It'll get me in trouble. 'I've always felt like even though I can be losing my sh*it, I can get over the next shot and still have a clear mind of what I'm still trying to achieve. 'Although from the outside it looks like I'm completely gone, in my own mind, I still know where I'm at.' Asked if he could change, he laughed: 'I'm 33. I think that ship has sailed, to be honest! It just means I get stick from you guys generally. No, I'm not going to change. It's just how I am, how I play. 'I've always said, as long as it's not affecting my playing partners. "Sure there's been times I've probably gone too far and you comment on a putt when they're putting on the same line and then it maybe affects where they're hitting their putt. Stuff like that, I think that's part of what you learn as you get more experience, so I do try and avoid that kind of thing. 'But, long as I'm not affecting the other guys, then I'm not going to change.' Hatton says he has the perfect way to unwind as he explained: 'Normally a Guinness is a pretty good way to start. Certainly this week anyway. Would be rude not to. 'I think three is the magic number. Two to three because you're definitely not close to a hangover and you still feel like you've got, hopefully, I've got a late tee time Saturday so I can have a lay-in, as well. 'I don't know, generally just, whether it be in the house and just watching Netflix, something like that, just to get away from golf.' Hatton got his ex-caddie Bo, who now works for Min-Woo Lee and assisted Shane Lowry to success at this course six years ago, involved in the night-out planning as he revealed their chat on the 18th went along the lines of: 'To be honest, I said, I'll see you later for a pint. 'It was a lovely moment. He did say: Go well this weekend, so I responded, I'll see you later for a pint.' Hatton came close to success at Oakmont before JJ Spaun edged clear in the finale and he said: 'I really enjoyed that experience. I know it wasn't the ending of how I'd like it to have played out, but how I dealt with everything there and even out on the course with the most pressure, I still feel like I hit some really good shots. 'I left feeling proud and happy with how I dealt with everything. I'd love to have another chance to win. So far we're in a decent position, but we've still got a lot of golf left to play. You've still got so many amazing players, but, from my side, it's been a solid couple of days. I can't really complain too much.'

Robert MacIntyre falls short as JJ Spaun clinches US Open win
Robert MacIntyre fell just short in his bid to win the US Open after JJ Spaun broke his heart with a dazzling display at the death. MacIntyre burst into contention to become Scotland's first major winner since 1999 on Sunday at a rain-soaked Oakmont after producing an excellent two-under-par 68. Advertisement That made him the clubhouse leader at one over and he looked set for at least a play-off against Spaun, who had two holes to play. "Wow." Bobby Mac is all of us right now. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 16, 2025 But the American first sent a stunning 309-yard drive onto the green at the short par-four 17th and two-putted for a birdie before sinking a mammoth 64-foot putt on the 18th green to seal glory. MacIntyre was watching open-mouthed in the scorer's office and could do nothing but applaud his opponent. He became a major champion for the first time and was the only man to finish in the red with a score of one under. Advertisement While the 17th hole helped Spaun's dreams come true, it killed Tyrell Hatton's. The Englishman was in a five-way tie for the lead at one over when he found himself still in the rough after three shots. He bogeyed that and then the 18th to finish three over. View this post on Instagram A post shared by U.S. Open Championship (@usopengolf) Spaun may consider the thunderstorm at around 4pm local time (9pm BST) to be divine intervention. Before the heavens opened at Oakmont and forced a 96-minute delay, the first-round leader was five over for his round after eight holes. Advertisement But while leaders Sam Burns and Adam Scott floundered in the soaking conditions after the resumption, Spaun found his best game and birdies at the 12th, 14th, 17th and 18th took him to glory. Indeed, Burns and Scott could not cope after the restart as they seemed in competition to see who could find the worst positions in the rough. Burns was the overnight leader at four under but his round disintegrated after the resumption, with two double bogeys in an ugly round of eight over par to finish tied for seventh on four over. Scott, hoping to win a major for the first time in 12 years, fared even worse, going round in 79. Advertisement Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler ended up tied for seventh after impressive rounds, while Rory McIlroy produced his best round of a difficult week to finish on seven over.
