Ian Poulter had just hit a great tee shot to the par-3 16th at TPC Scottsdale in Friday's second round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He had left himself 6 feet for birdie.
So what does he do? He goes through his routine, gets the read, stands over the ball and...putts it one-handed?
That's right, Poulter hit the putt with one hand and missed, befuddling the crowd on the famously raucous short hole. However, Poulter wasn't doing it just to mess with the fans. He was doing it because it had worked several times earlier in the round.
Poulter probably started doing it in the first place because he was well off the projected cut line. No matter how he putted, the Englishman ultimately never got even close to making the cut on Friday. He finished at 4 over par for the two days and missed the weekend by four shots.
