WATCH: Livid Tyrrell Hatton smashes club after failing to clear rough at US Open 2025

Tyrrell Hatton came close to winning his maiden US Open title on Sunday at the Oakmont Country Club. However, a mishap on the last stretch of holes saw the Englishman lash out, and, in turn lose the trophy.

On the par-4 17th hole, Hatton's 287 yard long drive found the thick rough by a greenside bunker. Faced with a downhill lie into the bunker, the LIV Golf star failed to get enough loft on the ball to clear the steep bunker lip ahead of him.

With his ball coming to rest on the front lip of the right greenside bunker, Tyrrell Hatton exchanged a look with his caddie before smashing his wedge into the ground. Here's a look at the scene on the 17th hole (via X @NUCLRGolf):

Tyrrell Hatton went on to further take his frustration out by snatching his towel out of his caddie's hand.

Heading into the 17th hole, the Legion XIII star was tied in a four way lead with Sam Burns, J. J. Spaun, and Robert MacIntyre. After Hatton expressed his anger, the commentator could be heard saying that he needs to "be careful to not make a bogey" to ensure he remains in contention.

However, the challenging lie of his third shot left him with a 46 foot and 9 inch putt for par. which he failed to make, resulting in a bogey. Having lost momentum, he went on to bogey the last hole and lose the 2025 US Open.

Tyrrell Hatton settled for a joint fourth place finish with Cameron Young and Carlos Ortiz as J. J. Spaun won the Major championship.
