He has a new Reds-themed golf bag for this week's tournament in Birkdale.Hatton nabbed early bragging rights after showing off his Liverpool-themed golf bag in the changing room this week in the red and white colour of Liverpool and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' emblazoned across the bottom.On Thursday, Southport-born Fleetwood, who is an Evertonian, and Hatton both finished the day one under par.Hatton claims that Fleetwood wasn't impressed, and said: "I showed him the bag in the locker room, he wasn't overly impressed, but it's fine, it's all good."Speaking following his practice round on Wednesday, Hatton discussed his passion for the club but admitted he's unable to attend many matches nowadays due to his demanding schedule. "Well it's not my local team, but I support them," he said."It's cool, there's been a lot of people that have loved the golf bag so far this week."There's going to be a certain side of Liverpool that doesn't like the golf bag, and that's fine.
I travel a lot, so it's hard to justify another day away."Hatton has rubbed shoulders with several Reds legends on the golf course during his downtime. He has previously played rounds with Sir Kenny Dalglish, who resides near the Birkdale course, and remarked: "I got to know James Milner pretty well when he was playing for Liverpool, I was able to go to a few games."Hatton has also been a big supporter of Anne Williams Golf Day, held every year in memory of the legendary Hillsborough campaigner who died in 2013.
Anne’s son, Kevin, was just 15 when he lost his life at Hillsborough.Hatton often sends over custom prizes to the tournament. We’re so lucky to have these people on board, helping to make it a special day in Anne’s name.”Hatton’s support continued this year.
