ORLANDO, Fla. – Tyrrell Hatton’s quest for a second cardigan sweater came up a shot short, but the Englishman certainly made his week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational entertaining.
The 2020 champion at Bay Hill opened with rounds of 69-68 to move into second place but a third-round 78 sent him tumbling down the leaderboard and, presumably, out of contention.
Following an eventful opening nine on Sunday (a three-birdie, three-bogey effort) Hatton moved back into the hunt on a brutally demanding day with three birdies through his first four holes on the second nine for a closing 69 that was 6 ½ shots better than the final-round average.
