Teed-off Hatton curses club on wayward round

TV PICKS UP TYRRELL RANT AND RAI HITS TROUBLE TOO

- Rich Jones

TYRRELL HATTON admitted a foul-mouthed outburst at the US PGA Championship “wasn’t his finest moment” as emotions got the better of him in a roller-coaster round.

And he was not the only Brit to jump up and down the leaderboard as Aaron Rai’s chaotic second round meant he suffered the same painful fate as Rory McIlroy on day one.

Ryder Cup star Hatton came out firing with back-to-back birdies but made a triple-bogey seven on 18, the halfway stage of his round.

He reacted to his wayward tee shot with an expletive rant at his driver, screaming “piece of s***” at the face of his club after Sky Sports were also forced to apologise for when he shouted “f***!” in earshot of their TV mics in his first round.
