Poulter to fuel Ryder Cup charge

Ian Poulter shone at The Masters a couple of weeks ago, finishing in the top ten, and he’s back in action at this week’s China Open.

We feel that Poulter’s liking for playing in Asia, Links-style courses and shotmaking will allow him to prove he’s a cut above a field which, on his day, he should be too good for.

With a Ryder Cup around the corner, Poulter will want to send a statement out – and we expect him to do just that this week.
