We know that golf is hard, but that’s part of the game’s charm. Sometimes, however, the frustrations of the game can outweigh its charm, and at that point, players do out-of-character things: kick a cart, break a club, lash out irrationally at a cameraman.
Ian Poulter had some short-game problems on the par-4 15th hole. Short-siding his approach in the right rough, Poulter chunked a flop shot into the greenside bunker, and then needed three shots to escape his sandy predicament. An impressive up-and-down later — considering that his kettle was whistling — and Poulter made a line for a SkySports cameraman who happened to be in Poulter’s line of sight.
Amazing when you don't concentrate how easy it is to make mistakes. Another deadly mistake and pencil an 8 on the card. Need a low weekend.

You can bet that cameraman made sure he was in position well before Poulter was ready to pull the trigger over the last three holes.
A simple snowman makes everyone feel better ⛄️ Don't run behind me when I'm ready to hit. I was ready he wasn't. Simple mistake. https://t.co/HvDBZfg2eY
