Trust Tyrrell to Master it

Hatton leads at Belfry after 65

- DALE RANKIN

TYRRELL HATTON produced a slice of Seve style to take control at the British Masters - then smiled and said: "I'd give it seven out of 10." The Englishman will take a oneshot lead into today's third round after justifying his position as pretournament favourite at The Belfry.

Hatton exploited ideal conditions for the early starters to fire a second round of 65 for a halfway total of 10 under. South Africa's Brandon Stone, Spain's Jorge Campillo and France's Jeong weon Ko all trail by one.

Competing on the DP World Tour after appealing against the sanctions imposed on him for playing LIV events without permission, Hatton carded eight birdies and a bogey.
