Tyrell Hatton surprised by dazzling 62 after December break

Hatton had 10 birdies and an eagle to move within a shot of the lead in Hawaii.

Tyrell Hatton hit ten birdies and an eagle to equal his career-low round on the PGA TOUR as he shot up the leaderboard into second place on day two of The Sentry in Hawaii.

Englishman Hatton had the best round of the day, an 11-under 62 , moving to 15-under-par alongside American Brendon Todd and Korean Sungjae Im, one stroke behind American Scottie Scheffler.

Fellow American Collin Morikawa and Norway’s Viktor Hovland, who closed with a 52-foot, 7-inch eagle, are among a bunch of players on 14-under-par after they both shot 67.

Hatton said: “Maybe a surprise to do it in the second round back to start the year, after how long I’ve had off.

“I wouldn’t say I looked after myself in the December period — maybe that played a small part. Yeah, so the body hasn’t been moving well.

“I’m sure if you had seen some of the flight tracers of some of my tee shots, you would be disgusted.

Fellow Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick moved to within three of the lead with a 64.

World number one Scheffler also shot 64 with eight birdies and an eagle.

Overnight leader Sahith Theegala of the United States shot a 69 and slipped down into a share of 9th place at 13-under.
