The final cut has been made at the Southern Hills, the course hosting the 2022 PGA Championship. The current world no. 24 DP World and PGA Tour player has made it to the third round. Although he is happy with the result, the golfer doesn’t think the same about the course.

“You can hit a great putt, and they just don’t look like going in,” Tyrrell Hatton said. “…which is hard to accept when we’re playing in a major championship.” The golfer put forward his frustration after playing two rounds at the Southern Hills. 

He also added that since it is not one of the “monthly medals,” his term, but major championships, the condition of the greens is not acceptable. “They’re bobbling all over the place,” he added. “It’s so hard to hole putts.”

Hatton is one of the world’s top best golfers. However, he hasn’t had a victory in the 2021-22 season yet. Out of all the tournaments he played on the PGA and DP World Tour, he has been in the top 10 five times.

Notably, Hatton has also criticized the Augusta National for its design. “If you hit a good shot, you should end up near the hole,” he had said then. “… not short-sided into a bunker because of the slopes that they’ve created and stuff.” He further added, “Yeah, I don’t think it’s a fair test at times.”
