Tyrrell Hatton Criticized for Course Behavior

Tyrrell Hatton faced criticism for his outbursts during the third round of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, where he snapped a club and cursed about course conditions. After missing a short birdie putt and expressing his frustration with foul language, Sky Sports commentator Ewen Murray called him a 'terrible influence on the next generation,' emphasizing that this behavior needs to change. Despite his petulance, Hatton managed to chip in for a birdie later in the round, leaving him three shots off the lead. Commentators noted that Hatton's conduct has been a recurring issue, and he may face disciplinary action from the tour. The 33-year-old golfer, who is currently ranked 18th in the world, recently returned to the European Tour after appealing fines from his participation in the LIV Golf series. His recent performances include a victory at the Dunhill Links and a second-place finish in Abu Dhabi.
