Captures second win with new ZL driver, first victory on the PGA Tour
CARLSBAD, CA (February 21, 2010) – Cobra Brand Ambassador Ian Poulter secured his first PGA Tour and World Golf Championship victory with a 4-and-2 win in the 36-hole final at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. Poulter dispatched World No. 6 in the championship, and moved into 5th in the Official World Golf Rankings, the highest position of his career.
“It’s so nice to see myself at No. 5 and get higher and higher up the World Rankings,” said Poulter. “Hopefully I can keep going in that same direction.”
Poulter won five matches to get into the Championship Match, including a convincing 7-and-6 semi-final victory over World No. 15. Poulter’s Match Play title adds to his eight European Tour victories.
