If anyone spots a YouTube clip of Ian Poulter dropping his ball on his backflipping "lucky" marker, please send it along. Not much of a shocker that he was penalized and I must say the Dubai World Championship provided a fitting ending to a year of bizarro rules happenings.
Here's the full wire story.
Asked how frustrating it was the 34-year-old said: "About 20 world ranking points [23 actually], a lovely trophy and about $400,000 – that much frustrating.
"It's a shame it's just ended the way it has and it's not a consolation for me that Robert holed the putt in any case.
"It's a strange rule because if I had dropped the ball on the middle of the marker and it had not moved there's no penalty.
"But I should not drop my ball on it. It's been my lucky marker since the start of the year and has got my kids' names on. There are always positives, but right now I'm not seeing them."
