Tyrrell Hatton F-Bomb Caught on Hot Mic at PGA Championship Round

During the opening round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, both Bryson DeChambeau and Tyrrell Hatton exhibited visible frustration on the course. DeChambeau, after nearly acing the 17th hole, ended his round with a bogey on the 18th, leading to a loud expletive as he left the green, despite acknowledging his young fans with autographs and fist bumps. Hatton, who shot a solid 3-under 68, was caught on a hot mic uttering an expletive after his tee shot landed poorly on the 17th hole, a moment that left ESPN's Scott Van Pelt momentarily speechless. Hatton's temper was noted throughout his round, including an earlier incident where he reportedly threw a club in frustration. Additionally, players including Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele expressed dissatisfaction with the tournament conditions due to a controversial 'mudball' ruling, as heavy rain had left the course muddy but preferred lies were not allowed. This ruling led to challenges such as balls coated in mud affecting play, contributing to the day's tensions among several competitors.
