Quick Quotes


Q. Tyrrell, despite the bogey at the last, tease your lowest first round score here by four shots. How do you feel about that 65?

TYRRELL HATTON: I'm surprised to hear it's my lowest round to start with. Obviously it was a good day. Hit a lot of good shots. Putter was great. Kind of happy with that start.

Although my head's a bit fried at the moment. My mind is just raging at the last there. But it is what it is.

Q. Let's talk about happier times: 16, long putt down the tier.

TYRRELL HATTON: Hit-and-hope. We were kind of not really too set on the line. I kind of changed my mind last minute and started it a little bit further right, and holing a putt from that distance down the tier like that, you need a lot of luck. There was a few times today where I did get lucky and yeah that was obviously a nice break.

Q. 24 starts for you this year, second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, six other Top 10s, how do you reflect on the year so far?

TYRRELL HATTON: I would say consistently very, very average. Apart from that, good finish at Bay Hill. We had -- I think we were leading Desert Classic on Saturday afternoon.

So there was a few good events at the start of the year I guess, but then I guess after Bay Hill, it's been pretty boring. Nothing to get excited about to be honest. And although I've made a lot of cuts, I think I've only missed two cuts this year. Yeah, I won't sort of -- I won't miss 2022.
