"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."
"Stumbles, surprising ones, from some of the favourites at the head of proceedings have opened this event right up. Ludvig Aberg slipped to a 73, Justin Rose a 76 and Hideki Matsuyama the same. Viktor Hovland's 71 was excellent in context of his fellow illustrious names. Hovland is three from the lead. There are 18 players within six of Saddier and Noren. Harry Hall, Matt Fitzpatrick and Patrick Reed are notable at minus 10."
Tyrrell Hatton produced a standout 64 to move within two shots of leaders Adrien Saddier and Alex Noren, who share the lead at 15 under with 18 holes to play. Hatton recalled missing a full celebration after the 2020 PGA Championship because of Covid and recounted a vivid episode after Ryder Cup qualification. He will join the European contingent flying to New York for a scouting mission after the event. Several pre-tournament favourites faltered—Ludvig Aberg (73), Justin Rose (76) and Hideki Matsuyama (76)—while Viktor Hovland shot 71 and sits three off the lead. Eighteen players remain within six shots, with Harry Hall, Matt Fitzpatrick and Patrick Reed notable at ten under. Alex Noren recently won the British Masters, his first DP World Tour victory in seven years, and narrowly missed Ryder Cup selection earlier in the season.
