Quick Quotes

Q. Obviously exciting week to have you here at The Belfry, the British Masters. The Belfry, is it a course you quite fancy?

TYRRELL HATTON: I haven't seen the back nine yet. This is actually my first time here playing the golf course. When we walk past it, I have hit that tee shot on my dad's simulator over the years. It's exciting to be here. It's an historic venue in British golf and European golf. So yeah, looking forward to it.

Q. One added aspect is when Ryder Cup points start being accrued. I'm sure that's in the forefront of your mind as well?

TYRRELL HATTON: Yeah, definitely. Certainly one of the reasons why I wanted to play this week. Ryder Cup is really important to me and I'd love to be on that team next year, and this is the perfect week to try and get off to a good start.

Q. Francesco monthly nature and I Justin Rose announced as team captains for the Team Cup in Abu Dhabi. Would that be of interest to you as well?

TYRRELL HATTON: Yeah, I played it two years ago when it was The Hero Cup. It was a fun week. If it's possible, I'd love to play in it next year. So we'll see how it plays out but as I said, I'd like to be a part of it.

Q. This tournament has been growing from strength-to-strength year-on-year, especially since COVID, just looking at the crowds here on a Wednesday, you must be just as excited about the crowd interaction with some English fans here?

TYRRELL HATTON: Yeah, I think any time you're playing in front of home fans is always going to be a special week and for me personally, I'd love to go out there and play really well. Make loads of birdies and give the crowd something to cheer about as will all the other English guys playing this week.

Q. Are you a hundred percent? I know you were getting some work done on your wrist earlier today.

TYRRELL HATTON: Yeah, we are managing it and hopefully it will be fine.
