"I'm pretty frustrated" - Tyrrell Hatton on his performance at DP World Tour Championship 2024
The 2024 DP World Tour Championship started on Thursday, November 14, with Tyrrell Hatton opening with a round of 5-under 67. He carded three birdies on the front nine and four on the back nine, along with two bogeys. In the second round, he shot four birdies and a bogey for a round of 3-under 69, placing him second after the second round.
Despite a decent start, Hatton expressed his disappointment with his game on day two during a press conference on November 15. Speaking of his performance, he said, via ASAP Sports:
"Pretty similar thing to yesterday to be honest in terms of just not feeling very comfortable. Yeah, just every shot felt like a bit of a struggle, I guess. 3-under is a pretty acceptable score, all things considered but naturally you always kind of -- you want to be better. So yeah, I guess it's fair to say I'm pretty frustrated."
Hatton further shared his hopes for the remaining two rounds of the event.
"I mean, well, taking the positives from two days where I don't feel like I've played the kind of golf I'm capable of, and we're one shot off the lead going into the weekend. So yeah, hopefully I can find something and hit it a little bit better," he added.
The 2024 DP World Tour Championship is a four-day event featuring only 50 players. It will conclude with its final round on Sunday, November 17.
