Death, taxes and Tyrrell Hatton absolutely losing it.
What an interesting week for Hatton, the 30-year-old Englishman.
At the beginning of the week he raged at not backing off a shot when the wind got up.
Then he snapped his driver and took aim at the course design.
Just don't ask him what he thinks of that bunker in the middle of the 18th fairway.
Still, Hatton has a knack for hitting small fairways.
