Tyrrell Hatton kept his composure and posted one of the day's best rounds at Augusta National on Friday. He hit all 18 greens in regulation and shot a 6-under-par 66 to stand 4-under after 36 holes. Hatton is known for volatile reactions on the course but said he felt confident walking up the 18th. He was invited to the Masters based on a top-four finish at last year's U.S. Open and plays on multiple tours.
Key details:
- Hatton shot a 6-under 66 and finished the first two rounds at 140, 4-under par.
- He hit all 18 greens in regulation, becoming the third player in the last 30 years to do so.
- A late three-putt on the 18th left him mildly disappointed despite the strong round.
- An earlier approach to the 7th green hit the flagstick and returned off, a moment he called "headless."
- Hatton is 34, plays for LIV Golf, is 31st in the Official World Golf Ranking this week, and won the Dubai Desert Classic last year.
Summary:
Hatton's round moved him into contention and gave him a clearer position heading into the weekend. Conditions are expected to firm and he will play in later groups, which could test his patience and timing. The tournament outcome is undetermined at this time.
