PEBBLE BEACH, CA. - Ian Poulter’s chances at the U.S. Open ended quickly with a quadruple-bogey during the second round on Friday.
Although Pebble Beach has yielded low scores in calm conditions, there is enough punishing rough to claim victims, as Poulter found out the hard way at the par-four third, his 12th. Poulter, colorfully attired as ever in pink pants and bright purple sweater, had to take an ungainly almost crab-like stance, his feet far apart and facing the hole, legs bent in different directions.Poulter then had another crack at it, this time stabbing the ball a couple of feet, and eventually running up an eight — known as a snowman.
Poulter battled on and finished in quite the style, holing a 70-yard wedge shot for birdie at his final hole, but it was all academic by that point as he shot a second consecutive 73 for a four-over 146 total.
