On Saturday, after the golfer played his round, he sat down with the media for a press conference. An interviewer asked him about his struggle on the course and what might be causing it, to which the golfer gave quite an honest reply. He shared that he “didn’t feel comfortable with the ball last week,” and his discomfort with the ball has extended to this week as well. He remarked “I’m struggling”, as he mentioned his Open performance.  

The golfer lost his temper last week at Scottish Open after he had to take 5 extra strokes to make the ball reach the hole at the 18th. The golfer got quite a lot of attention for his obscene finger-flipping on the 18th. Although as obscene as his action may be, the 1X PGA Tour is well aware of the importance of good shots at highly coveted events such as the Open Championship.

Amid sharing the struggles he has been facing recently on the course, Hatton also talked about how a single bad hole can highly impact the game at such significant events. He shared that he has been putting himself in “decent positions” this week because he understands how the game can turn after a golfer has had one bad hole. “This week it’s a lot further back after one bad hole,” he said.

He called his struggle a good thing because it has helped him play better. What are your thoughts on Hatton’s struggle? Do you agree with him? Let us know below in the comments!
