Ian Poulter's Shank in Dubai was Bad, but at Least He Laughed About it
By Michael Shamburger
Ian Poulter, every American Ryder Cup fan’s favorite golfer, hit a fairly embarrassing shank during the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. On the par-3 seventh hole, which is a straight shot over water, Poulter’s tee shot went just a bit to the right.
Another day, another shank at @OmegaDDC ?

At least he had a good sense of humor about the shot.
It's a nicer angle to the pin from over there.. ???? nothing wrong with a weekly shank.... https://t.co/debxLPIDz0

Poulter’s shank is the second in as many days as Darren Clarke had one during the first round.
