tier Hatton’s hopes of winning his first major title came crashing down in heartbreaking fashion during the final stages of the 2025 US Open at Oakmont tied for the lead with just two holes to play the Englishman looked poised to mount a serious challenge but a disastrous finish including back-to- back bogeies saw him tumble out of contention and left him bitterly frustrated the pivotal moment came at the 17th hole a short par4 widely seen as a birdie opportunity hatton however drove his T-shot into the thick rough on the right his second shot only advanced 25 ft before ending up in more rough on a steep slope what should have been a scoring hole instead turned into a bogey that mistake was compounded on the 18th where he again lost control and made another bogey to finish tied for fourth three shots behind winner JJ Spawn hatton didn’t hold back in his post round comments speaking to reporters he labeled the brutal Oakmont layout unfair highlighting the punishing rough and steep bunkers is overly severe his emotions spilled over when asked whether his poor T-shot on 17 was simply bad luck why do you think it was bad luck what kind of question is that hatton fired back that’s ridiculous if you’re going to miss that green you miss it right in the bunker i did that i feel like I was extremely unlucky with where it ended up i missed in the right spot and still got punished that’s just not fair the setback clearly stung what happened on 17 is going to hurt for a long time hatton admitted it’s the first time I’ve truly been in contention at a major and that was exciting but I feel like a bit of bad luck robbed me of my momentum and ultimately the chance to win for Hatton the emotional toll is intensified by how close he came it’s hard when the tournament slips away from you right at the end if it had happened earlier in the week it wouldn’t hurt so much but at the very end that’s what makes it really painful despite the disappointing finish Hatton’s performance still marked a milestone in his career being in contention at a major shows that he has the talent and drive to compete at the highest level but for now he’ll be left wondering what could have been on a course he believes didn’t play fair
