Tyrrell turns down the temperature

TYRRELL Hatton does not think the crowds at Adare Manor for the next Ryder Cup will be “as hostile” as those the victorious Europe team endured at Bethpage Park.

It was Hatton’s half point with Collin Morikawa which secured outright victory in New York after Shane Lowry's putt at the 18th had earlier made sure the trophy would be going back on the plane as Europe held off a rousing comeback from the USA.

Englishman Hatton will return to action for the defence of his Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland this weekend.

The 33-year-old is looking forward to a few home comforts over Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and the Old Course at St Andrews, which will host Sunday’s final round.
