Tyrrell Hatton is ever the entertainer, and the Englishman produced another comical moment after mishitting a tee shot on day two of The Open Championship.
After shooting a respectable two-over 73 on Thursday, LIV star Hatton carded a second-round 77 to miss the weekend by two shots.
Speaking to the press after his first 18, Hatton revealed two big complaints he had about the set-up of the course.
The 32-year-old will now look to return to form at LIV Golf UK, which gets underway at JCB Golf & Country Club next week.

Heading off the eleventh green, Hatton had a superb chance of making the weekend. The Englishman was just three over and three shots inside the cut line.
However, five dropped shots in seven holes swiftly ended his Open Championship aspirations.
After a measly 274-yard drive on the 12th, Hatton was spotted carrying his clubs, as he felt he wasn’t deserving of his caddy carrying his bag for him.
Somewhat ironically, Hatton would go on to make a double bogey and kickstart his disastrous closing stretch of holes.

Hatton has previously claimed he’s found LIV Golf’s format awkward, but the results spell out a very different story.
The Englishman claimed his first title in Nashville and finished third in last week’s Andalucia event behind Sergio Garcia.
Currently, Hatton finds himself fourth in the individual standings and in with a shout of competing for the title come the end of the season.
Now that major season is over, the 32-year-old will need to assess what exactly went wrong at Royal Troon and why he couldn’t compete effectively in the most significant events of the year.
