17 LIV Golf players are currently playing in the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at the Old Course in Scotland. And more than 10 of them might make the cut after the remainder of the second round is completed on Saturday. The remainder, we say, because most of it was already finished today. However, near the end of the round, heavy rainfall ultimately caused a major delay and eventual suspension. However, before the tournament was called off, fans witnessed one of Tyrrell Hatton’s infamous outbursts, as the weather conditions didn’t make him happy.

Fresh off the bus after singing Team Europe’s iteration of ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries for Rory McIlroy, Hatton was eager for individual success. And he flew straight to St. Andrews looking for it. Playing the second round of the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, the Englishman had put himself in a great position to go for the top of the table. He was only five strokes off the top of the table as he was hitting the approach shot at the par-5 18th hole at the Kingsbarns Golf Links. However, the moist conditions in Scotland made his hand slip from the club, and he mishit the stroke. And as many of his fans would expect, he reacted very strongly to it.

Immediately after contact, he screamed in frustration, “It f***ing slipped out my f***ing hands,” in typical Hatton fashion. The ball landed right of the green in the taller grass, and he ended up missing what could have been a very easy birdie. That would have put Tyrrell only four strokes away from his Ryder Cup teammate, Robert MacIntyre, at the top of the table. Instead, he remained at T23 as he ended the round long before the play was suspended, before Brooks Koepka & Co. could complete their 18 holes.

However, that didn’t stop the fans from calling out Tyrrell Hatton for his strong reaction to the miss. Let’s see what the fans had to say about it.

Netizens bash Tyrrell Hatton for not being able to keep his cool in Scotland

Tyrrell Hatton is no stranger to letting his emotions take over on the course. And fans often criticized him for acting out when his peers had managed to keep calm in similar situations. This time as well, one of the fans said, “My goodness. Shouldn’t golfers behave better than that?” We couldn’t agree more. Being a gentleman’s sport, golfers should certainly present themselves better in front of an audience. However, as anyone who plays golf would also be aware, it can also be extremely frustrating at times. And many of the casual players are also guilty of losing their cool when they are supposed to be enjoying themselves on a Sunday. So, for someone who plays it professionally, to lash out after a mishit should still be acceptable.

After everything that happened at Bethpage, one of the followers said, “Strange, just one week ago this type of language was seen as an abomination on the entire sport of golf. Tom Watson apologized on behalf of an entire nation because of it. This week, look at his passion.” They believe that his throwing out abuses in the air is the same as the New York crowd targeting their heckling towards the family of a pro golfer. That’s why Tom Watson had to decide to step in and apologize to the entire Team Europe squad.

Someone sarcastically wrote, “I’m told this type of language on the golf course is unacceptable and should be held to a higher standard.” They are probably still bitter about all the heat that New York fans received for their heckling. However, it’s worth noting that many of the more creative efforts by the spectators at Bethpage were acknowledged by the Team Europe pros. They only complained about the extremely rude and personal comments.

Watching Hatton melt down might also be entertaining for some, as one of them wrote, “That was my biggest disappointment from attending last week’s Ryder Cup; not seeing a Hatton melt down, lol.” They were hoping to watch the Englishman lose his cool in New York. However, he was calm as a cucumber when representing Team Europe. But he’s back to his authentic self now that he’s playing individual championships again.

Lastly, someone was actually happy to see Tyrrell Hatton lose his cool after the mishit. They said, “Hatton has no filter! 😄 one of us!” Just like every Sunday golfer, even the LIV Golf pro lashes out when the club slips out of his hand. And the fan found it hilarious that he could relate to the Englishman because of it.
