In the Rough

England’s Ian Poulter has pulled out of this weekends Singapore Open after his Golf Driver was stolen during the HSBC Championship event in Shanghai last week.

Poulter was hoping to still compete at the tournament but his driver has still not arrived the day before the event so he has decided to pull out. The Singapore Open has a prize fund of £3.2 Million but Ian Poulter has still chosen to drop out as a bad week without the driver could affect his World Ranking points and ultimately his World Ranking Positioning.

The HSBC Championship tournament organisers announced India’s Anirban Lahiri as Ian Poulter’s replacement. The Championship has big names like Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els.
