Ian Poulter: 'Third round ruined my chances at Valspar Championship'

Ian Poulter says that he is frustrated by his third-round performance at the Valspar Championship, after keeping pace with the leaders before the weekend.

Ian Poulter has said that he is frustrated by his performance in the third round of the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook, Florida.

The Englishman was two shots off the lead going into the weekend, but shot four-over in the third round to end his hopes of winning the tournament.

"I hit 14 greens in regulation [on Saturday] and didn't hole a putt," Poulter told Sky Sports News.

"I holed 200-feet of putts Thursday and Friday and then the hole froze over for me on Saturday. It was really frustrating because I played nicely and had a lot of nice putts inside 20-feet all day, but couldn't seem to get them in.

"It [Saturday] was just a day of frustration and then today I played exceptionally well again. A couple of missed green which was a couple of bogeys and then leaving putts out on the golf course, so another week where I'm going to be left frustrated."

Poulter shot 69 in his final round and finished the tournament outside the top 20.
