Hatton had quite a time at Oakdale this past weekend. He had 10 birdies on the final day of the tournament and tied for 3rd place alongside CT Pan and Aaron Rai and won $477,000. After his stellar performance in Toronto, the golfer made an appearance on the foreplay. The host of the podcast had one direct and easy question for him. He asked England’s own if he enjoyed playing tournament golf because sometimes it just seems brutal and torturous. To which the angry golfer had quite an interesting reply.

He answered the question in both an affirmative and a pessimistic manner. He said that tournament golf could both be fun and not fun; it totally depends on the golfer’s performance. He continued and said, “Yes and no, although it might not look like fun to me.” He then went ahead and said that playing in any event or tournament is only fun when a golfer has a chance of competing on Sunday and then eventually winning.
