I don't like Poulter the golfer. He's obnoxious and rude to fans, media, volunteers, staff, etc.

I'm rooting against him harder than I ever rooted against Lexi last year (starting at this time last year).

Personal experience? I knew he was arrogant off the course, but have never seen it come through (admittedly only through watching on TV). 

In other news, Spieth has utterly ruined a hole from an easy spot on 10

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

He is super arrogant its almost like he is a comedian. That being said it is fun watching him hit shanks into the stands at 16 in Scottsdale. It was also fun when he blew the Honda a couple years ago with hosel fades!

This isn't even the worst one:

Not by any stretch.

Now that you remind me, I do think I read that a while back but totally forgot - sorry to hear about it (again). I still like the redemption aspect of this weekend based on the Masters invitation chaos after the WGC, but won't be pulling for him anywhere near as hard. 

For what it's worth, if it makes you smile, I know a couple of friends who have watered his parking spot at Woburn.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

As special as Poulter is, he deserves some "potting soil."

I don't understand why Julian Suri's line isn't showing Fedex points. He's a European Tour player, doesn't have a tour card, so guessing that has something to do with it. Nor does his profile page show his earnings from the Dell Matchplay. I don't understand the subtleties (or are they omissions) of the pgatour.com website.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I don't think non-Tour players are in the FedExCup chase.

So earnings is still used to play one's way onto the Tour?

Huh? You have to be a PGA Tour member. Remember a few years ago when Rory declined? Membership means you have to commit to playing like 15 events or something… a lot of primarily European Tour players don't do it.

Really?

Three top tens (no top fives) in 12 trips there.

He will definitely get a new Ferrari when it was looking like he may lose his card a long time ago.

Rickie is hard to watch play golf at times. He shoots up to the lead early and makes a bad double then just 3 putted from close in to make a triple. He just doesn't have the it factor.

They have a saying in Texas that fits Rickie. "He's got a big hat, but no cattle."

Julian Suri is just starting out though. I forget how someone from Euro Tour who doesn't have qualifications for PGA Tour get to PGA Tour. I think win enough earnings to get high on money list? Like Brooks Koepka?

Nice to see rookie Suri finish strong.
