Tyrrell swears by Guinness-fuelled quest for victory

TYRRELL HATTON will carry on cursing and drinking as he bids to win his first Major at The Open this weekend.

The Ryder Cup star had three pints of Guinness the night before his opening round 68. And on-course TV mics caught him swearing during his second round 69 yesterday that saw him climb even higher up the leaderboard as he reached the halfway stage five under par.

Hatton is as famous for his temper tantrums as his achievements —and he unleashed an X-rated rant after a triple-bogey at the US PGA Championship in May.

The LIV Golf star, who finished tied fourth at the US Open, has been behaving better at his home Major.

But Hatton said: “It felt like a frustrating day —I was still vocal.

“Maybe I’m just having to do it away from the microphone. It was pretty negative stuff, yeah.

“Do I want to share it? No, it'll get me in trouble.
