Jon Rahm Loses It As Tyrrell Hatton Explains His Caddie Fell Over At Dinner Forcing Him Out Of The Masters

Tyrrell Hatton won't be walking the grounds of Augusta National alongside his regular caddie Mick Donaghy during this week's Masters, but not exactly by choice.

The Englishman has been forced to call upon a friend of his to fly to Augusta, Georgia and take over bag duties for the year's first major after Donaghy took a bit of a tumble after a dinner in Miami last weekend. Hatton revealed that Donaghy's shoulder may have met the ground, which is never great, and he had to spend a night in the hospital after his fall.

"My caddie fell over last night after dinner. Now, his reputation is an interesting one, so I don’t know how the fall really occurred, but either way, he landed pretty heavy on his shoulder.

"He spent the afternoon in hospital. He’s had an X-ray. He won’t be caddying for the next month. As far as I’m aware he’s got really bad bone bruising," Hatton explained.

"I’ve got a friend on the bag. He is actually flying tomorrow now to Augusta, and he’ll do Adelaide and Singapore if we can get a visa in time for him to do Australia," he continued.

Jon Rahm And Tyrell Hatton Can't Keep A Straight Face

While the story itself is no laughing matter, the way Hatton presented it certainly was. He didn't say ‘my caddie tripped and unfortunately fell’ or anything along those lines, there is something about the phrase "my caddie fell over last night" being objecetively hilarious, and Jon Rahm agrees.

Rahm, a teammate of Hatton's on LIV, couldn't keep it together as Hatton vaguely explained what happened.

The Mirror has reported that the friend Hatton has tapped to be his caddie for the foreseeable future is player and friend Hugo Dobson, who was actually on the bag for him during the 2019 Masters.

Last-second phone calls where you have to drop everything you're doing to jump on a plane are never fun, but there are certainly worse ones to receive when this particular instance involves a drive down Magnolia Lane and caddying at the Masters.
