WATCH: England’s Tyrrell Hatton Snaps Club, Gives the Finger, Swears and Shatters Golf Etiquette at the British Open
Tyrrell Hatton’s second round performance at The Open Championship Friday featured a trifecta of unruly exploits.
Hatton was two over par for the tournament after an even second round, putting him in serious danger of missing the cut. Allowing his frustrations to get the best of him, Hatton ignored proper golf etiquette by snapping his club in half, giving the finger to a spectator and getting caught swearing by a hot mic. Have a day.

After a double bogey on 11 despite a strong tee shot, Hatton was heard by the TV audience saying “absolute f*cking bollocks.” Then he flipped someone in the gallery the middle finger. And for his final performance of the day, Hatton snapped his gap wedge in half after a poor approach shot on 18.
Currently the 10th ranked golfer in the world, the 29-year-old Hatton has struggled in The Open throughout his career. A native of England, Hatton is on the verge of missing his sixth cut in nine tries at his home country’s PGA major.
