When I flipped over to the Barclays Singapore Open insurance on GC, I nearly went into surprise. I notion I heard GC say the Top 6 in the Race to Dubai had been gambling this week. But I checked the leaderboard, even the use of my browser's seek feature, the effects had been negative.
Alas, no Poulter.
A little websurfing uncovered this notice in an IrishTimes.Com submit:
The five gamers in closest pursuit of McIlroy on the Race to Dubai standings have all elected no longer to play in Singapore or Hong Kong: Peter Hanson, Justin Rose, Ian Poulter, Branden Grace and Ernie Els ? Have, in impact, conceded the name to the Ulsterman who may be out of reach by the time the final event is held within the desolate tract. Poulter, who has his eyes set on winning a Major following on a 2d WGC title, has determined to bypass subsequent week?S Hong Kong Open in favour of an appearance in the Australian Masters.A short word: Ernie Els couldn't have caught McIlroy anyway. Apparently he didn't play enough European Tour events this year to qualify.
Nevertheless, the golf international is Poulterless this week.
If you need to see how Rory does in his now nearly certain triumph inside the Race to Dubai, you may test the Singapore Open leaderboard right here. When I checked, Rory became 1 after 2 holes and Thomas Bjorn had posted the lead at -five despite the fact that he changed into most effective via 12 within the TV coverage. Mickelson changed into on the 4th hollow on TV however the leaderboard confirmed him completed at 2.
But we won't see any Poulterish heroics this week. ** sigh **
