ORLANDO, Fla. – For Tyrrell Hatton, there are golf courses where he sees the lines of the greens well, and there are others where he doesn’t. So, how does he approach tournament venues on the latter list?
“You just avoid them,” Hatton said.
Bay Hill Club and Lodge isn’t one of those layouts. Hatton, the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational champion, has always seemed to putt well around Arnie’s Place. Bolstered by confidence with the flatstick, Hatton has continued that trend this week. Through 36 holes, he has racked up nearly 182 feet on only 27 putts (22 of those came in Friday’s second round) and leads the field in strokes-gained: putting.
