Tyrrell Hatton's Key To Staying Calm, Playing Well At The Open Is Simple - Drink Exactly 3 Pints Of Guinness Today After His Round
This right here is what we call smart. Tyrrell Hatton went out with his boys on Wednesday night for a little golf and to stay loose:
That's right, golfers stay loose by playing golf with their friends. Whatever he did, you can't say it's not working, he's at -5 through 2 rounds, tied for 3rd and looking the part of a guy who can win this thing. I'm kind of surprised Hatton hasn't won a major if we're being honest. He's been close, I know he can be what some people call a hot head, but he was 4 holes away at Oakmont of winning that. He should be at the top of the leaderboard over the weekend here.
They key though? Tradition. 3 pints of Guinness, you do that on Wednesday night and play well Thursday, you keep that thing rolling. I'm a big fan of whatever works, you do over and over again. Also want to steal the phrase 'be rude not to' when a friend asks if I want a beer. It's the perfect way to say no shit man, of course I want a beer. Hatton is going to be one the later ones out, he could get to 4, even 5 pints if he wants. But I like the fact he's sticking with 3. You can't fuck around with superstition when you're contending at a major.
