ORLANDO, Fla. – As his third-round tee time approached Saturday morning at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Tyrrell Hatton was downright disgusted with his game.
A day earlier, the emotional Englishman had a promising range session only to lose strokes in every possible category and scrape it around Bay Hill Club and Lodge for a 3-over 75. The following morning’s warmup wasn’t much better.
“It was horrible, shocking really,” Hatton said. “I didn’t have any good feelings. I was thinking to myself, this is going to be a long day.”
Much to Hatton’s surprise, it wasn’t.
Hatton birdied his first two holes and was 6 under after 12 before finishing with a 6-under 66.
