After being caught on a hot mic dropping a f-bomb on Thursday, the fiery, self-deprecating, golf-course deprecating, everything-deprecating Englishman went nuclear on Friday while climbing into (and maybe out of) contention in Charlotte.

After hitting his tee shot into the water at the 18th hole (his ninth of the day), Hatton flipped his driver around, went face-to-face with it, and spat out, “Piece of s*** c***!”
“So, Tyrell Hatton not happy with that tee shot,” the ESPN commentator said afterwards in the understatement of the day.

Hatton went on to make a triple-bogey seven on the hole, dropping from five-under and among the leaders to two-under.
Hatton seems to have a love-hate relationship with golf, but he might still be looking for something he loves about it. In April at the Masters, he was asked if he likes Augusta National.
“Do I like any golf course?” he replied.

Much of the powder-keg Englishman’s, umm, charm on the golf course is that he always seems ready to blow and frequently looks more exasperated at good shots than bad.
At the Masters, he raised some eyebrows by complaining about the conditions of the famous greens, saying the late-day footprints were throwing him off and caused him to miss a one-foot putt.
“Yeah, that green had a ton of footprints and it’s just one of those things that you’re never really going to get around. Sometimes they bobble in for you and obviously that time it bobbled a miss for me … It’s frustrating to come off the course and feel like you kind of have shot the worst score that you could every time. It was very easy to look stupid.”
After that Masters blow up, the 33-year-old was asked how he would have handled similar things as a younger man.
“I feel like I probably would have handled it pretty much the same way as I did today,” he said. “But yeah, I mean, that’s just me.”
