Watch: Hatton flips off spectator, snaps club in 2 separate outbursts
Warning: Video contains coarse language
Tyrrell Hatton had a bad day at the office.
The fiery Englishman's temper boiled over on two separate occasions during his even-par 70 on Friday at Royal St. George's Golf Club.
First, someone in the crowd disturbed Hatton during a putt. He proceeded to give them the middle finger following his miss.

After he tapped in for double-bogey, Hatton continued to give the culprit a piece of his mind.

But he wasn't done there.
Knowing his round - and perhaps week at the Open Championship - was coming to an end, he snapped his iron after a poor approach shot.

Fortunately, for the rest of his clubs, Hatton's 2-over after 36 holes likely won't be good enough to make the cut.
