Tyrrell Hatton has received support after finishing T4 at the U.S. Open<\/a> at Oakmont. The Legion XIII golfer gave a good account of himself until the end but ultimately came up short in his attempt to win his first major title. Despite the heartbreak, Hatton’s T4 finish marked his best-ever result in a major tournament.<\/p>\n

Hatton Believes His Time Will Come Amidst Growing Support<\/h2>\n

Hatton was right in the mix until the closing holes. On the tough par-4 17th, his tee shot landed in the thick rough rather than the bunker. That mistake led to a double bogey. He made another error on the 18th hole, and those two stumbles knocked him out of serious contention.<\/p>\n

Hatton\u2019s team captain at Legion XIII, Jon Rahm<\/a>, was the first to offer his support to the 33-year-old. Rahm was the clubhouse leader for more than four hours after he shot an early 3-under 67 that left him at 4 over. He waited patiently for Hatton to complete all his media obligations before he embraced him and showered him with praise and encouragement for his performance.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old took to X to express his appreciation for the fans and congratulate the eventual winner, J.J. Spaun. \u201cI gave it everything. Thank you Oakmont, a true @usopengolf test. Proud of my fight and my T4 finish. Congratulations JJ on the win. See you again next year. \ud83d\udc4b\ud83c\udffc\u201d<\/p>\n
