Tyrrell Hatton

Quick Quotes

Q. Tyrrell, obviously a very challenging day. How do you assess your score considering the conditions?

TYRRELL HATTON: Well, I didn't think my score could actually be any worse than what it is, to be honest. If anyone has worse numbers than me on the greens this week, I would actually feel sorry for him because my putting this week is absolutely disgusting.

I hit it lovely yesterday, and then we had a few bad moments today. Obviously, it's tough out there, but I'm not in a good mood. I'm so frustrated with these greens. It seems every year I play here, I just never hole putts, and this year has been the same.

Q. Can you possibly put -- (off microphone)

TYRRELL HATTON: Other than tomorrow is a new day and hope that we actually get a bit of luck. I've wanted bury my putter several times. It's definitely a love/hate relationship, and there's a lot of hate at the moment.

Q. One quick Tiger question. As a competitor, are you as amazed by his performance as the rest of us are just watching him?

TYRRELL HATTON: It's pretty special that he is here. Obviously, he has a pretty impressive round yesterday. Conditions, again, weren't easy, and obviously, he knows this place pretty well, but as a competitor, I guess as a fan, it's pretty special to have him back.

Q. What makes Tiger Woods Tiger Woods?

TYRRELL HATTON: Obviously, he has an aura about him, and his record speaks for itself. We're lucky that he is playing this week.

Q. How would you assess the old course as a venue for him if he could keep progressing and improving?

TYRRELL HATTON: This course?

Q. The old course. Looking ahead.

TYRRELL HATTON: Well, yeah, obviously it all depends on the conditions, but, again, another golf course that he has done pretty well on in the past, and you certainly would never count him out.
