“There’s life in the old dog yet,” Poulter said after beating American Beau Hossler on the first hole of a sudden death playoff at Golf Club of Houston. The top 50 at last Monday’s cutoff earned exemption to Augusta and Poulter was so dejected after being initially misinformed he was in the Masters field that he considered skipping Houston. I thought he holed it,” said Poulter, whose 20-foot birdie putt was on a similar line. “I hit a great putt, good read and it obviously was very helpful seeing his putt,” Poulter added. I packed my bags to leave on Friday.”(Reporting by Andrew Both in Cary, North Carolina; Editing by Nick Mulvenney/John O’Brien)
