As Hatton exited the locker room, he was informed that his Tour Championship journey was not over yet.The moment was posted on the PGA Tour's official twitter page.

The awkward yet amusing moment sparked a flurry of fan reactions on Twitter that erupted with hilarity and understanding. One fan wrote:

Tyrrell Hatton's journey at the BMW Championship

Tyrrell Hatton's journey at the BMW Championship was akin to a heart-pounding roller coaster ride. Beginning the tournament in 26th place, he was in a promising position to secure a spot in the prestigious Tour Championship. His consistent play over the first three rounds propelled him forward, but the final day added twists and turns that even Hatton did not anticipate.

His final round kicked off on a promising note, with Hatton posting a three-under 32 on the front nine. However, the back-nine presented its challenges. Back-to-back bogeys on holes 10 and 11 hinted at the uphill battle he faced. Tyrrell Hatton rallied with a birdie on the 12th hole but faltered with a double-bogey seven on the 15th.

A relentless Hatton countered the setback with a birdie, only to face another hurdle in the form of a bogey on the 17th hole. His fortunes hung in the balance as he reached the 18th tee. The fairway bunker swallowed his tee shot, setting the stage for a nerve-wracking finish. Hatton displayed his resolve with a strong third shot, setting up a par opportunity.

Tyrrell Hatton's visible disappointment, including a club slam earlier in the tournament, painted a picture of a player who believed his Tour Championship aspirations had been dashed. Despite the challenging finish, Hatton's overall performance secured his place at 29th overall in the tour Championship.

Fellow golfer Jordan Spieth also experienced a nail-biting finish, both striving to claim spots in the Tour Championship. In a turn of events, both Hatton and Spieth secured their berths, clinching 29th and 30th places, respectively.
