For Colorful Language, Tyrrell Hatton Is Tops on the European Ryder Cup Team
ROME — Tyrrell Hatton is known for his boisterous demeanor on the golf course, seemingly always upset or annoyed about bad bounces, missed putts and all the other things that can occur in a round.
During a light moment in his Ryder Cup news conference Wednesday at Marco Simone Golf Club, Hatton was asked would win a "swear-off" between himself and another fiery player, Jon Rahm—who was his partner at Whistling Straits two years ago.
"I’ve got everyone covered," Hatton said. "Anytime of day, anywhere. Doesn’t matter what we’re doing. I’m swearing."
"What about now?" he was asked.
"F--- off," Hatton said to laughter.
And with that, the news conference ended, with Hatton saying: "Cheers guys. Have a wonderful day."

Earlier, Hatton went so far as to wonder why Rahm doesn’t swear in Spanish.
"Why does he swear in English? I don't get it," Hatton said. "He would probably get away with it if he just swore in Spanish. Maybe the English language has a bit more punch to it with certain words."
