Anybody that has played a bad round of golf can relate to the feeling Tyrrell Hatton was having on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. A game like golf is so precise, just a fraction of a mistake can cost you the whole day. Luckily that wasn’t the case for Hatton, but one pond almost cost him everything.
It’s one thing when you end up in the rough, but landing in a pond is definitely the worst feeling there is. There’s no saving the shot after it splashes into the hazard.
For Hatton, that feeling lingered on even after he’d moved on with his day. After a costly pond shot cost him a stroke 15 minutes earlier, Hatton was still feeling so bitter towards the pond that he flipped it off. He actually flipped it off.
We don’t like to laugh at other people’s pain, but that is a hilariously relatable feeling Hatton was having. We’ve all been there, buddy. We’ve all been there.
Hatton wasn’t done there, though. Soon after he took another shot at the water.
Don’t worry, though. Hatton went on to win the event for his first PGA Tour victory, finishing one shot ahead of 2017 winner Marc Leishman.
