Ian Poulter Must Putt And Approach Greens Well at Liberty National
3 years agoThis may be a tough tournament for Ian Poulter but the older Englishman will give it a go. The longer course can be daunting for most but there are spots for Poulter to exploit. Around the green, the British golfer is good at 0.365 strokes gained but it is that 0.75 strokes gained from putting that catch eyes. That ranks fourth on the tour. For Poulter, he must drive the ball accurately and not worry about the behemoth 8th and 18th holes too much. The 18th is 490 yards but if the wind is blowing hard, it feels like 500+. Again, with three other Par-5's and some easier holes sprinkled in, Poulter at least has a decent shot to compete into Sunday.
