Ryder Cupper’s press conference ends in hilariously profane fashion

The back-and-forth stated with a question about Hatton’s Ryder Cup teammate, Jon Rahm, another player known for wearing his heart on his sleeve on the course. Who’s better at swearing?

“I don’t understand why Jon doesn’t swear in Spanish,” Hatton replied. “Why does he swear in English? I don’t get it. He would probably get away with it if he just swore in Spanish. Maybe the English language has a bit more punch to it with certain words.”

When Hatton was asked if he knew any Spanish swear words, he demurred.

“I think I’d do a pretty poor — I’d give it a pretty poor attempt,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to embarrass myself or to, yeah, just upset Jon, I guess, in front of him. I think I would probably win in a swear-off. I’ve got everyone covered when it comes to that.”

When the reporter pushed Hatton to clarify just how extensive his profanity prowess is, Hatton played along.

“Yeah. Just any time of day, anywhere. No holding back,” he said.

Then, Hatton dropped some comedic gold.

“Doesn’t matter what we’re doing. I’m swearing,” he said. “F— off.”

As the room erupted in laughter, Hatton laughed along.

“Cheers, guys,” he said. “Have a wonderful day.”
