Poulter & Kim

    Does anyone know what happened between Poulter and Kim on Saturday night?

    After exiting one of the greens and on the way to the next tee you could clearly see Poulter turning after he had passed Kim and telling him to F@*@ off. Kim was not playing in the match and was therefore a spectator.

    The ESPN commentary on Sunday made reference to an unfortunate incident between Kim and Poulter. I can't remember the exact phrase but it was something to the effect that Kim may have jostled Poulter during over enthustiac cheering?

    As far as I know Kim bumped off Poulter after some of his high fiving and general bouncing around.

    Poulter looked like he wanted to smack him one (I know I do).

    Didn't know that, here you go

    It would have been a very interesting contest if both had drawn each other in the singles

    Even more interesting if in the boxing ring. Maybe thats the Ryder Cup in 2012. In reality sounds like Kim a bit over excited rather than anything else.



    I have to say, I was never a great fan of Poulter, but he really gave it socks. He even developed those Scary Eyes which we thought were patented by Harrington.

    Lol. Anytime I saw those "scary eyes" I was reminded of that deodorant ad currently on TV where that guy has the rogue eye.

    With regards to Kim I saw Poulter's reaction to the "bumping" incident as it happened coming off one of the Par 3 tees (12th?) on Saturday. Unfortunately, after rewinding it back a few times to see what caused Poulter to react in a kind of "What the fcuk did you do that for" way, I can only take Poulter's explanation as being quite close to the truth.

    Kim was so pumped up he didn't actually realise he had one his match with Garcia, even the commentator was saying 'he looks like he doesn't want to shake Garcia's hand' as he walked off the 14th.

    Kim did get too carried away at times for me and over-did the crass fist pumping.

    I thought Kim was by far the worst behaved player over the 3 days.
    His behaviour was cynical,over the top and just nasty.
    Most of the other players were good natured if boisterous but fair.
