Tyrrell Hatton accused of 'disgraceful' behaviour at BMW PGA Championship
Tyrrell Hatton's behaviour on the golf course was once again a hot topic after the English golfer let out a number of F-bombs at the BMW PGA Championship.
Tyrrell Hatton's behaviour was once again a hot topic after the English golfer got frustrated at times with his play at the BMW PGA Championship.
Hatton is well-known for his temper tantrums and even acknowledged his behaviour on the course when took the right royal p*** out of himself by starring in a spoof therapy session for angry golfers a few years ago.
Would it be unreasonable to suggest the Englishman hasn't really changed?
The 31-year-old tour pro demonstrated all of his emotions over the first two days of play at Wentworth.
Sky Sports were forced to apologise on more than one occasion after hot mics picked up handful of expletives from Hatton en route to his opening 68.
It was the same story on day two and a number of golf fans noticed.
"He should be warned and fined," one fan wrote on X referencing his language. "It's neither necessary or appropriate."

In absolute fairness to Hatton he wasn't the only pro Sky Sports were forced to apologise for.
Justin Rose also let out one huge F-bomb after a loose iron shot. Jon Rahm, too, was also a bit hot under the collar.
Hatton recently addressed his behaviour in an interview with talkSPORT.
"People are very quick to judge in any scenario nowadays," he explained.
"Sure, I'll be pretty quick to lose my head at times. But over the next shot, I know exactly what I want to do.
"People see that as me not concentrating, or whatever else.
"But I'm fully focussed on what I'm trying to achieve – even if I can be a little bit hot under the collar."
Don't know why @SkySportsGolf don't just put an advisory warning for bad language at the beginning of coverage of any tournament that Tyrrell Hatton is playing in. It would save them having to apologise every second shot of his

So is he prepared to change his ways?
Hatton said: "We're all human. We have good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks.
"One day you'll be the calmest person on the planet but you get out on the wrong side of the bed and you get a bit more frustrated than normal.
"But I don't think I need to be any different. As long as I'm fully focussed on what I'm trying to do for the next shot, then I don't feel like I need to change in any way."
