POULTER PULLS OUT OF HONDA

Ian Poulter has withdrawn from this week's Honda Classic PGA Tour event due to pneumonia.



The Brit, who had a recent clash with Nick Faldo regarding his work ethic and distractions off the course, had complained of suffering from a high temperature prior to his withdrawal.

A chest X-ray revealed the pneumonia and it now remains to be seen if he recovers in time for next week's world championship in Miami.

Poulter said on Twitter: "Sorry guys never been so disappointed in pulling out of a tournament. Never felt so rough, hope the first reserve plays well in a great group today." Poulter was replaced by Argentine Miguel Angel Carballo, who played alongside Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood. - http://www.sportinglife.com/
