LIV Golf star Tyrrell Hatton has once again found himself in hot waters. At the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, the Englishman lost his cool again and destroyed a tee box in frustration. This has once again left the fans angry on social media.

The incident took place in the third round after a hot start from him. The 33-year-old had an eagle, a bogey, and a birdie before he came up at the par-3 7th hole.

At this hole, his shot would find the middle of the green. This led to him thumping the tee box marker not once but twice. He was later summoned by the tournament officials for this.

Following the round, he opened up about this incident. He admitted that he should not have done that and claimed that it was just a bit of frustration on his end.

It was just a bit of frustration. I probably shouldn’t have done it. Does it make me a bad person? No. It’s just a spur of the moment thing and it happened. I can’t go back and change it, so move on… I’m aware that it’s not the right thing to do but in the heat of the moment when you’re frustrated, you just do things that you probably wish you didn’t do.

Tyrrell Hatton said as per The Guardian

On several occasions, Hatton has been found losing his cool on the golf course. Last year in November, he would snap his golf club in frustration after a poor shot at the DP World Tour finale.

Sky Sports commentator Ewen Murray would slam the golfer for his actions live on air and said it was time for him to “change”. He would even call these actions a “terrible influence” on the future generation.
