Ian Poulter Quotations

I wouldn't want to do that every week. Once in a while is not too bad. To relax at home and have an extra day with the family.

I feel like taking my putter into the car park and giving it a right good thrashing.

I don't think it matters who you're playing in any of the rounds. On any given 18 holes, someone who's higher ranked, if he doesn't play well, he's going to be out.

He was, and probably is to this day, the best-dressed man in golf for the time he was around. His dress sense was awesome.

He was flying traps at 320 yards, chipping on to the greens and generally putting us under a lot of pressure.

I was well pleased with the finish more than anything else.

When you do that, you're going to win the golf tournament, and that's exactly what he did.

The reason I dress the way I do is because I like clothing. I looked down the range this morning and all I saw was black, khaki and navy trousers. I will wear black and navy trousers, but it will be slightly different. I think it looks too bland sometimes, and I don't want this game to be bland. It's a fantastic game we play. It's a stylish game.

There's nothing you can do when he's 5-under through three holes. He steamrollered everybody and played awesome, but hopefully I'll give him a bit of the same back.

The tournaments are big enough now where if you do play well enough you can make a massive dent in it. It would take a lot of pressure off. There were three or four of us last year jostling for spots in the Ryder Cup, and that's not a nice position to be in.

The Ryder Cup was a great boost but it's time to move on now to try to win tournaments.

The weather last year on the West Coast was obviously very, very wet and nobody likes to play in the rain. So it's nice to come over and play in a nice climate without any rain.

It was difficult for me today. I didn't feel all right and I didn't hit any good shots. It all adds up to a rubbish score.

It's actually nice to get three weeks in a row where we can come out and play three great golf tournaments.

It will be great to compete with so many high-ranked players.

It won't come down to the last tournament this time. I want to be there and I'd love to have it sorted by the end of year.

After that quadruple bogey, I went into overdrive. I played some unbelievable golf.

I had so many chances, took a few and left a few out there. All in all, though, it's a good week.

I'll say one word - pathetic. That cannot be. Sixteen golfers. Are you kidding me? And that is a huge prize fund.

I haven't found that many differences playing in America as opposed to playing in Europe. In my eyes, there are slightly bigger crowds in America. The depth of players is slightly stronger in America, and that really is about it.

I played lovely all day and had eight under in mind from the very start,

There are subtle things you can do without crossing the line. If I see I've got up my opponent's nose, I will be over the moon. Job done.

The last thing you want to do is shoot 80 wearing 'tartan troosers'.

It's [Augusta National] a difficult course and it doesn't make it easier when you have three shanks.

Faldo has lost a lot of respect from players because of what he said.

What I always say is, "Look good, feel good, play good."

I don't like the way most people dress on the golf course. I think it's pretty bland, pretty boring.

If I ever get happy with myself for finishing 12th or 15th, someone needs to put my clubs away and I'll take up tiddlywinks.

If he shoots 5 over, you've got to make sure you shoot 4 over. If he shoots 7 under, you shoot 8 under par.
