The Open Championship is one of the most challenging golf tournaments of the year, and it got the best of Tyrrell Hatton at Royal St. George’s on Friday.
After shooting a 2-over 72 in the first round, Hatton clawed his way to an even-par 70 in the second. He had some extremely frustrating moments, including one bad iron shot that angered him so much he snapped his club.

Hatton was also caught by a hot mic cursing after he made a double-bogey. You can see that clip below, but be aware that it contains inappropriate language:

Hatton is from England, so you can understand why he wanted to play well. He isn’t the first golfer to snap a club after a bad shot at The Open, as we also saw Henrik Stenson do it two years ago. You can see that video here.
