Ian Poulter can thank 2002 PGA champion Rich Beem for allowing him to keep his dream alive of making the 2016 European Ryder Cup team. When the new Official World Golf Ranking was released on Sunday night, Poulter had dropped out of the top 50 for the first time since 2006. That meant Poulter was […]
