Tyrrell Hatton marked making Europe's Ryder Cup team last month with a 'vile' night out, waking up covered in his own vomit.
The 33-year-old Englishman, who will play for Europe for the fourth time against the USA at the biennial event, which takes place September 26-28 at Bethpage Black in New York.
and Hatton, one of golf's more colourful characters, did not rule out similar scenes if Europe won away from home for the first time since the 'Medina Miracle' of 2012 - where the visitors came back from 10-6 to 14½-13½.
"Oh my God, that was aggressive. It was vile. But I mean, it was funny at the time," Hatton, who drank drinks with LIV Golf and Europe team-mate John Rahm, said.
"John had just won the [LIV Golf] individual [title], so we had a bit of a party. Yeah, it was a messy night. When I actually got back to the room, I just fell sideways onto the bed and lay face-down in that position, then I woke up in that position vomiting.
"I fell back asleep in that position and when I woke up, I'd vomited down both arms, down my shirt. I looked in the mirror and I'd vomited on my face, in the bed."
He added: "Waking up slightly sober was a horror, having to sort out that mess. I eventually stripped the bed, left some money and a note saying: "Really sorry, I vomited in my bed last night, please throw it in the bin."
Despite Hatton saying he did not want to be in that state, he admitted that a European win this month would likely involve a lot of alcohol.
Hatton seizes limited opportunities
As a member of the Saudi-backed LIV Tour, Hatton had limited opportunities to earn Ryder Cup points and thought he had missed his chance to automatically qualify for the team for the fourth time after a bogey on the final hole of The Open.
However, no one earned enough points to bump Hatton out of Europe's top-10 in Luke Donald's team.
"Automatically qualifying for the team was one of my main goals for this year," he added.
"I knew I would have that week and four majors - five events - to earn enough points to automatically qualify.
"I thought I'd blown that chance on The Open Sunday, but Luke [Donald] called me the Sunday night of the second FedEx event to tell me the guys in Atlanta weren't earning points and I'd automatically become a team member. Honestly, I was happy."
