Tyrrell Hatton is hoping to convert his recent good form into a strong Major Championship showing when the Masters Tournament begins at Augusta National.
The World Number Nine has enjoyed a hugely successful season, winning his first US PGA Tour title in the Arnold Palmer Invitational and also fulfilling a childhood dream with victory in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club.
The only blip for the 29-year-old has been his performance in the Majors and his best finish in three Masters appearances to date was a tie for 44th two years ago.
“For me, 2020 on the golf course has been a very special year,” said Hatton. “I think coming into a Major, this is the best form that I’ve had.
“Obviously it’s a place that I haven’t actually done too well at in the past, although I do like the golf course. Just kind of the week hasn’t fallen right for me.
“I won't change how I'll try and play - I would say I'm a fairly aggressive player. I think in previous years my short game hasn’t been very good, and normally putting is a strength for me. I’ve putted pretty horribly, which is disappointing.
“But obviously I’m very happy with how things have gone so far (in 2020), aside from missing the cut in both Majors.
“I've got confidence there and hoping that I can bring that into this week.”
