From the papers

BBC Sport

I'm back. I've missed a few cuts but these things take time. It's all been worthwhile and it definitely paid off today.

Ian Poulter, quoted in BBC Sport, 1 June 2003. The report

The Independent (James Corrigan)

When you go through a bad spell people tend to forget about you. The bookies had probably priced me at about 100-1, but my game has been coming back recently so it wasn't the worst bet.

Ian Poulter, quoted in The Independent (James Corrigan), 2 June 2003. The report

Golftoday

Justin wasn't playing this week but he has a company day here tomorrow so he took the trouble to drive here early and encourage me at the end.
