Ian Poulter was greeted with a mixture of cheers and boos as he began his opening round at the BMW PGA Championship.
Poulter teed it up Thursday in the DP World Tour’s flagship event amid much controversy regarding his appearance as one of the 18 LIV players in the field.
In an interview after his opening 3-under 69, Poulter said that he felt welcome at Wentworth. Earlier this week, a reporter caught Poulter and Billy Horschel having an animated discussion on the practice putting green, but Poulter said Thursday he hasn’t had any awkward run-ins with players.
