Ian Poulter cemented his first win on the PGA Tour ever with his victory over Paul Casey at the Accenture Match Play Championship. In my opinion, this was a long time coming. Poulter has shown the us repeatedly that he can perform on the world's biggest stages, such as the majors and Ryder Cup, and has a stellar resume on the European Tour. He has not enjoyed as great as success on the American tour, until now.
Ian took control of the match on the first 18, pushing the lead to as much as four holes. He stumbled near the end however, and ended taking only a two up lead into the clubhouse. But any doubts about the result of this match were silenced after Poulter came roaring out the gates with a pair of birdies to go to four up again. Casey closed to within two on the back nine, but two more consecutive birdies on the 33rd and 34th hole ended it. Ian Poulter wins, four up with two to play.
Congratulations to Ian's first ever PGA Tour victory!
