Ian Poulter believes he is striking the ball as well as ever and is ready to chase down The Race to Dubai leaders in the final three weeks of the season.
After a six-week break, the Englishman claimed victory at the Barclay’s Singapore Open and is now committed to lucrative events in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and the season finale Dubai World Championship where $7.5 million will be up for grabs.
The 33-year-old is now 10th in The Race to Dubai and has his sights firmly set on leading trio Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer, and Rory McIlroy.
“I have got off to a great start. I have got three more tournaments included for The Race to Dubai and I would like to think that I can have a chance to push Rory (McIlroy) or Lee all the way,” said Poulter.
“It’s an exciting few weeks leading to Dubai and I am very much looking forward to getting to Shanghai and staying fresh and working on a few shots which got away from me this week.
“I have got better things to come over the next three weeks; I am only going to get better. I have had six weeks off and I removed some cobwebs this week. There were some very promising signs this week and I am hitting it as good as I have ever hit it.”
