  • Intro:

    Ian Poulter reacted on Thursday (September 25th) to being targeted by the United States of America in the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Ian Poulter (his feelings on being targeted by the USA):

    "Well.... as I just said, I've put a lot of blue on the board for team Europe and I guess when you've done that you've kept a lot of red off their board, and by doing that I think.... I take that as a compliment. Being able to deliver for my team and help get us over the line, I'm very proud of and I guess I take Tom Watson's comments.... as a huge compliment. To me as a player, to someone that has, loved the Ryder Cup and for someone, like Tom, as a accomplished as he is, to pay me that compliment is, is amazing."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Ian Poulter (asked whether he had hear Phil Mickelson's comments on the relationship between Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell):

    "I did see them, but you need to see how Rory and G-Mac (McDowell) are in the team room. They're very comfortable, there's no.... there's no animosity in their whatsoever. I mean the guys are good, so I just.... I just have to laught at the comment."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Ian Poulter:

    Q: "Who would be the Ian Poulter of the American squad? Your thought please."

    "Keegan Bradley."

    Q: "Why?"

    "Because, it was his first Ryder Cup in Medinah (in 2012) and for a day-and-a-half I think he was fist-pumping like I was fist-pumping. So, you saw the adrenaline in his body, he loved playing with Phil (Mickelson) and they were on an incredible run. So, yes, I think from that stand point it has to be, has to be Keegan. He's embraced it, he absolutely loved it and.... yes, that's what I'd say."
