Why Tyrrell Hatton flashes with all emotions – Just as JJ Spaun wins

Oakmont, Pennsylvania – You just want to know what was kicking on Tyrrell Hatton’s head as he walked the lonely walk from our open goal. He just played one of the toughest golf balls of his life, tied for fourth, and he showed it with a slow and rooted pillar.

Hatton stared at the ground in front of him, reaching each of the 50 steps in the interview area. What is he thinking? What does he want to say to his days? What Once was I’m saying there, anyway?

He just signed the 72 twice he thought he could have done should He used to be 70 years old. Even 69 years old. On Saturday, he alerted the length of grass on the face of Oakmont bunkers, making them increasingly dangerous. But on the 71st hole, his ball somehow stopped on the downhill Entrance Go to a green space bunker. When he needs birdies the most or the worst, he gets a horrible lie, the Oakmont style leads to bogey. About 20 minutes later, after another bogey, he made a frustrated walk.

When asked to evaluate his round, he said all the things he expected – it was a “very tough day” and felt he “performed well” and had a good control over the weather delay. But then, something stuck in his craw came out.

“The ending was hurt,” Hatton said. “If you were to miss No. 17, it was that you had to miss it. I did a little bit of mine. I felt unfortunately I finished it…”

Hatton paused before completing the answer. In front of him was a TV, with a slight delay, while the crowd around the 18th green (perhaps 70 yards) groaned. Hatton turned his eyes from reporters watching Viktor Hovland’s birding attempt.

His face illuminated when the ball almost fell, but ran away.

“I’m sorry, I’m the same as everyone else,” he said. “Just want to watch TV now.”

Hatton is high on the list of advantages you want to have with pints. If that pint would be better when watching golf.

He continued: “What happened at the age of 17 will be injured for a long time.” “This is my first time participating in a major.

Oakmont is full of luck – good and bad. If you have surveyed the field, you may be more than the former. A perfect shot is mostly luck from the game, but Hatton certainly thought he played a good match and he disappeared at 17, but in Oakmont, almost missing is a slippery slope (in this case Grabby). Hatton is 26 yards away from the hole, no chance.

A golfer who was wronged by Oakmont? Select a number and queue it up! But we want more context. A reporter asked what made it unfortunate. It’s a real question, but worded in a way that makes Hatton stand out.

Why do you think it is unfortunate?

His face said everything, stretching his neck back in disbelief.

“Why are you not lucky?” he croaked. “Okay, why do you do this you Do you think this is unfortunate? What is that problem? ”

What makes you bad luck, do you think?

“Oh, do you think you’re going to stop in a fall, roughly? Like, that’s ridiculous.

“As I said, if you are going to miss that green, you have to miss it in the bunker. Obviously, it’s a decent tee and that’s going to be green. But I missed the right place and got punished. In the end, I don’t think it was fair in the end.”

ah, Fair. The main buzzword for the U.S. Open. “Strong but fair” is actually the USGA motto for this event. They never think It is unfair to cross the line. But they will certainly test their limits, especially in this course, as well as in Shinnecock and Pinehurst. Players say, for example, even if it feels like a perfect T-shirt, the 11th and 12th fairways seem impossible to hold.

But Hatton argues fair against the backdrop of missing the shooting. When they look at a hole, most professionals agree to the perfect shot and they get stuck in the right miss. However, no one seems to agree that the severity and predictability of these mistakes should be punished by the U.S. Open Moderators. Oakmont seems to punish everything that is imperfect. That We could spend the whole afternoon discussing with Tyrrell, sharing drinks and watching golf. He had a lot to say, which seemed like a safe choice.

As they did in the golf game, things quickly moved on Sunday night. When Hatton was asked another question, we heard another murmur in the 18-year-old. His eyes flew back toward the TV again. JJ Spaun just hit the putter from 64 feet away. The murmur turned to the rumble, and Hatton stopped the middle sentence. Then roar.
