Despite sitting towards to the top of the leaderboard, Tyrrell Hatton is not pleased, specifically with the 18th hole.

Following Friday’s second round of the DP World Tour Championship, Tyrrell Hatton sat only one shot behind leader Antoine Rozner. That’s the good news for Hatton. The bad news? Hatton’s position on the leaderboard means he’ll have to play the 18th hole at Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course twice more — and with high stakes.

On Friday, Tyrrell Hatton absolutely ripped the 18th hole at the Earth Course of Jumeirah Golf Estates. Going into his final hole, the LIV golfer was 3 under for his round and playing steadily with four birdies and one bogey on his scorecard.

Tyrrell Hatton is well in the mix at the DP World Tour Championship at the Earth Course, but this did not stop the Englishman from venting his frustrations in round two

Back in 2017, after a bogey on the 18th at Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course, Tyrrell Hatton said the par-5 “seems to hate me.” Fast forward seven years and its clear that relationship is mutual.

A relative surprise tops a star-studded leaderboard at the 2024 DP World Tour Championship through two rounds of action at the Earth Course at Jumeirah Estates. Antoine Rozner finds his name one clear of Rory McIlroy and Tyrrell Hatton and two clear of Joaquin Niemann after a second-round 65 catapulted him to 9 under for the tournament.

Showing off a revamped backswing he spent weeks working on, McIlroy kept his misses to a minimum in posting an opening-round 67 and is tied for the lead after the first day of the event with Tyrrell Hatton at 5 under.
