Tyrrell Hatton’s euphoria at making the European Ryder Cup team turned into a messy nightmare that left the golfer waking up covered in his own vomit after a boozy celebration with teammate Jon Rahm.
Hatton was one of the automatic qualifiers and the 33-year-old Briton said he was “over the moon” to receive the phone call from European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald.
But the celebration following the LIV Golf event in Indianapolis quickly got out of control.

“When I did actually get back into the room, I fell across the bed sideways and face down in that position,” Hatton explained to reporters who had probed him for details.
“Then I had woken myself up throwing up in that position.
“I had then fallen back asleep in that position and then as I’d woken up, I had gotten sick all down my arms, both sides, all down my shirt.
Tyrell Hatton had reporters in stitches. Twitter
“I get off the bed, walk to the bathroom and I’m like ‘Oh my god’, I’ve got sick all over my face, all through my beard.
“How I set an alarm to make the flight I don’t know. Waking up was horrendous, and having to clean that up.
“I called Emily and was like ‘I don’t know what to do’, I was rushing to make the room somewhat more acceptable before leaving… I ended up stripping the bed, leaving some cash and a note saying I was really sorry for being sick on the bed.”
Hatton said the “tear-up” began with six glasses of wine before he switched to other cocktails which included gin and tonic, margaritas, strawberry vodka and shots.
“God, it was aggressive! It was horrible. But I mean, it was funny at the time,” he said amid laughter.
Hatton did not divulge the state of Ryder Cup teammate Rahm following the night out.
Team Europe will be defending their crown at Bethpage Black Course, Farmingdale, starting on September 26.
