TYRRELL Hatton is on the lookout for a new caddie at Augusta after regular bag man Mick Donaghy was hurt - with the Ryder Cup star suggesting his liking for a pint may have caused it.

Hatton had to call on a volunteer for the final round of the LIV Miami event on Sunday, and gave a deadpan response when he was asked why Donaghy was absent.

Hatton said: “My caddie fell over last night after dinner.

"Now, his reputation is an interesting one, so I don’t know how the fall really occurred. But either way, he landed on his shoulder.”

Donaghy is likely to be out of action for a month, which could also force him to miss LIV events in Adelaide and Singapore.

It comes after Hatton went viral over the weekend for an X-rated outburst at LIV's event in Miami.

The Englishman finished tied for fourth place in Florida.

Yet despite concluding his three rounds on an impressive eight under par, it was a moment of rage that blew up online.

After a disappointing drive narrowly missed the fairway, Hatton could be heard furiously ranting.

And the live coverage astonishingly stayed with him despite viewers clearly hearing his expletive-ridden remarks.

He said: "F***ing what a w*** bounce that was.

"If it f***ing bounces left it's fine. "F*** you, f***ing c***."

During the choice language, the camera even zoomed in on Hatton as he threw away his tee in frustration.

Hatton finished three shots adrift of South African Dean Burmester and Spain's Sergio Garcia - both of whom ended Sunday's round on 11 under.

Burmester, 34, then went on to beat Garcia in the play-off to seal victory.
