TYRRELL HATTON has revealed he soiled himself on the putting green of a golf course before rushing to change.

The 31-year-old is set to compete at the Masters in Augusta later this week.

Hatton will fly the flag for Great Britain as he aims for glory.

In the build up to the event, he has relived one of his more embarrassing tails.

Back in his amateur days, Hatton represented England.

During his first cap in a match against Scotland, he suffered with a bout of food poisoning.

He tried to battle on, but “disaster struck” on the putting green – just ten minutes before he was due on the tee.

Hatton had to make a very quick outfit change, and that wasn’t the end of it.

He told the Mail: “After that I also had to use a buggy to get me to a toilet at the third hole.”

It wasn’t all bad, however, as he added: “I did win the match 6&5.”

Despite underwhelming on previous trips to Augusta, Hatton is optimistic that he can do well this weekend.

He said: “I have played six Masters and my best finish is tied 18th and I missed the cut a couple of times.

“It’s a place where I’ve struggled. I’ve played all right at courses that don’t suit my eye, so there is no reason I couldn’t have a great week.

“I’ll go there again and like every other week will try my best.”

Tiger Woods, meanwhile, has hinted that this could be his final Masters – 12 months on from making his miracle recovery from a devastating car accident to play last year’s event.

The 47-year-old, making his 25th appearance at Augusta, said: “I don’t know how many more I have in me.

“Just to be able to appreciate the time and cherish the memories.

“I’m very lucky to have the leg. Mobility and endurance – going forward it will never be the same.

“I can’t prepare and play as many tournaments as I’d like but that’s okay and I’m okay with it.”
