"[McIlroy] obviously knows me well enough by now to know what I'm like and the type of person I am, and yeah, I mean, a lot of people don't like how I'll be on the golf course.
Some people might enjoy watching it. But that's up to those people to decide, the people that know me as a person and what I kind of stand for. I think I'm a pretty honest person. Yeah, that's for other people to have their opinions. But I'm just being me. Yeah, I guess I agree with Rory that I don't need to change."- Hatton said, as quoted by Express.
The popular golfer is pleased with his performance at the latest tournament, saying that he is a person who has high standards, and if he does not meet them, frustration often arises.
