Professional golfer Tyrrell Hatton’s performance at this year’s Masters at Augusta left him in a state of disappointment and distress. The Englishman was partnered with renowned golf icon Tiger Woods and faced significant challenges as they navigated the Augusta National golf course.
Starting the day at 2 over par and in 24th place, Hatton made a promising start with a couple of birdies and a few bogeys. However, his performance took a turn for the worse on the 18th hole, resulting in a double bogey due to a four-putt. Understandably, he was devastated by this unexpected turn of events, expressing frustration at his game and the misfortune he encountered on the Augusta greens.
Despite this setback, Hatton expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play alongside Tiger at the Masters, while also conveying his desire to compete and improve his position on the leaderboard. His disappointment was further compounded by the realization that his limited access to Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points, as a result of his participation in LIV Golf for the 2024 season, may jeopardize his future appearances at the Masters.
Hatton also acknowledged his mixed feelings towards Augusta National, recognizing the privilege of being invited to the prestigious tournament annually, but also lamenting the challenges he faces in scoring well on the demanding golf course.
The toll of the Masters round visibly affected Hatton, highlighting the mental and emotional strain of competing at such a high level. His sincere disappointment at the day’s events made it evident that luck and circumstance played a significant role in shaping his experience at Augusta this year.
