There's no denying that Tyrrell Hatton is a serious talent and he will be doing everything he can to try and secure a spot in Padraig Harrington's 2020 Ryder Cup team as they look to retain the trophy at Whistling Straits.

Hatton is currently playing on the European Tour in the Italian Open, a tournament he won two years ago, where he is piecing together a fantastic opening two rounds to the tournament. 

The Englishman shot a three-under-par opening round of 68 and has continued his good form during Friday's round to push himself even closer to the top of the leaderboard.

During his second round, Hatton was involved in a brilliant moment caught on the cameras, where he was forced to stop mid-swing after hearing noise in the background.

Hatton was playing the par-4 fourth, where his brilliant tee shot left him in a great position to attack the flag. Just as Hatton got into the rhythm of his backswing, he stopped after hearing a toilet door slam in the nearby trees.

Stopping and stepping away from the ball, Hatton looked towards to the toilets and let out a surprising chuckle, as we all know golfers tend not to be too happy when they're forced to stop.

Hatton then began to engage with the spectator, saying "Is that you? What you doing?" before turning to the cameras behind him, pointing over to the culprit.

"That's my fiancée," said Hatton. You could then hear mulitple chuckles from the cameramen and the commentary team who found the situation hilarious.

"You put me off! You should be ashamed!" joked the 27-year-old. Watch the brilliant moment for yourself in the clip below:

Hatton then stepped up to the ball once again and came close to sinking the shot for eagle, but the ball span just past the hole, leaving the three-time European Tour winner with a tap-in birdie.
