Tyrrell Hatton sends message to critics after victory on Tour return boosts Ryder Cup hopes

Tyrrell Hatton has told his critics he has no plans to change after beginning his season with victory at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour. Hatton carded a three-under-par 69 in Sunday's final round to move him to him to 15-under for the tournament, leaving him one shot clear of overnight leader Daniel Hillier. It was the perfect start to the season for Hatton, whose LIV Golf campaign will not get underway until next month in Riyadh.
In typical Hatton fashion, it was not without controversy, after the Englishman's on-course etiquette once again raised eyebrows when hitting his club into a tee box during the third round on Saturday. It is not the first time Hatton's discipline has faced criticism, but the LIV star revealed his passion is part of the player he is. "Everyone says that you can't be perfect but I try to be perfect every shot I hit," Hatton said in a press conference following his win at Emirates Golf Club.
"I have high standards, and I get frustrated when I don't meet those standards. Yeah, generally, yeah, I'm always going to wear my heart on my sleeve and give it a hundred percent, and that's never, ever going to change." His efforts were recognised by his Ryder Cup teammate Rory McIlroy following his fourth round.
