Thoughts have inevitably turned towards how Tyrrell Hatton may celebrate victory here. Not only was the Englishman denied proper euphoria when claiming the PGA Championship in 2020 – those were Covid times – but he started this week depicting himself waking up in a pool of his own vomit after qualifying for Europe’s Ryder Cup team.
Hatton forms part of the European contingent who will fly to New York for a scouting mission as soon as this tournament ends. He may have a trophy for hand luggage and further partying in mind.
