September 18, 2018 8:32 UTC
Ian Poulter – nicknamed the Postman because he always delivers at the Ryder Cup – is a veteran of the event and came as no surprise when he was picked for the 2021 Ryder Cup thanks to the Englishman’s impressive performances across his six appearances
His Ryder Cup record takes some beating, losing just six of the 22 matches he has taken part in and is undefeated in the singles. His performance in 2012 at Medinah Country Club will live long in the memory of European fans after he won all four of his matches as Europe produced a famous Ryder Cup comeback. In the Saturday afternoon four-ball matches Poulter and Rory McIlroy were two down with six to play before the Englishman produced a heroic finish with five consecutive birdies to earn the point that would give the team belief they could go on to win The 2012 Ryder Cup.
With four top tens to his name this year, Poulter will come into the event filled with confidence.
