According to CNN/SI.com, Ian Poulter felt that the hole liners were not deep enough causing him to miss a putt on the hole #1. Granted, I’ve only personally seen a ball jump out of the hole one time because of a liner which was not deep enough, I would assume that at a US Open the USGA would get the course set up as perfectly as possible.
My take: Come on Ian. The cup was fine and don’t be bitter that you shot 77, just pull out the Stars & Stripes tomorrow and put up a 67!
