The Englishman registered his first PGA Tour victory in the Arnold Palmer Invitational just before the circuit was shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic. That gave Hatton eight worldwide wins. Four of those triumphs have come on the European Tour, the last being the 2019 Turkish Airlines Open. This will be his fourth appearance in the U.S. Open. He tied for sixth in 2018 at Shinnecock Hills. He also was a member of the victorious 2018 European Ryder Cup Team.
