Tyrrell Hatton had a blunt take on mental coaching ahead of LIV Golf South Africa. The Legion XIII revealed what works for him when it comes to handling pressure.

During the LIV Golf South Africa press conference, Tyrrell Hatton revealed how he doesn't really practice mindfulness.

“I don't think it would surprise you to hear that I don't have a mental coach. Yeah, that just doesn't work for me. I just kind of react to the situation that I've put myself in and then try and get on with it,” he said in a clip from Flushing It on Tuesday

The discussion then shifted toward whether others in the group resort to mental coaching, and just as John Rahm started talking, Hatton's comment cracked up the room.

"Jon's calm as well, isn't he, to be fair," said Hatton. That's because Rahm Jon Rahm's temper and outbursts have compelled worked with a mental coach since 2014.

“If there is something they don't need to learn from us, that's the one thing they could just avoid and pick something else,” said Rahm.
