Tyrell Hatton ‘devastated’ after sharing Masters stage with woeful Tiger Woods
Tyrrell Hatton’s day at The Masters took a bittersweet turn as he confessed to feeling “devastated” after a tough outing on Augusta National’s 18th hole, resulting in a third-round score of 73, leaving him three over par. Despite the thrill of playing alongside Tiger Woods, Hatton’s nightmare on the last hole dampened his spirits, reflecting on the difficulty of achieving a favorable score on such a challenging course.
Hatton shared his mixed emotions, acknowledging the excitement of playing with Woods at such a prestigious event but also expressing disappointment at his performance. He felt he had played well for the majority of the round but struggled to capitalize on his opportunities, especially on the demanding final stretch of holes.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods, a golfing legend, experienced his own struggles at Augusta National, marking a personal low with a third-round score of 82. Despite making a record 24th consecutive cut, Woods struggled with both his ball-striking and putting throughout the day, failing to find his rhythm on the course. Reflecting on his performance, Woods attributed his struggles to a lack of competitive play leading up to the tournament, emphasizing the challenges of returning to top form after limited time on the course.
As the tournament heads into its final round, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler leads the pack with a one-shot advantage, positioning himself as a strong contender for a second Masters title. Scheffler’s steady play throughout the tournament, coupled with a third-round score of 71, has positioned him at seven under par, ahead of his closest competitor, Collin Morikawa. Morikawa’s impressive third-round 69 was one of the few sub-70 scores on Saturday, keeping him within striking distance of the lead.
With contenders like Max Homa and Ludvig Aberg also in the mix, the final round promises to deliver thrilling moments as players vie for the coveted green jacket and a place in Masters history.
