Tranlate this title Ian Poulter, first Major as a senior golf player in spanish

Ian James Poulter was born in Hitchin (about 35 miles from London) on January 10, 1976, and thus officially became a senior player earlier this year.

Shortly after his birthday, the British player announced he had received an invitation to make his senior debut at a Major, specifically the U.S. Senior Open: Poulter falls under the F-24 exemption category, reserved for all players who have been members of the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teams in the last five editions.

But time flies, and so, in just over twenty-four hours, the co-Captain of the Majesticks will make his debut on the fairways of the Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, where he has already met a host of friends and «enemies» (golfing-wise).

Ian Poulter, statements

Being quite the social media person, he shared the first images from Columbus with the comment, «When you realize you’re getting older.»

In yesterday’s traditional pre-match interviews, he was specifically asked how comfortable he felt meeting so many players he hadn’t seen in a long time:

«I don’t know. It’s Tuesday. I got here yesterday, and to be honest, I don’t know what to expect.»

«Obviously, I haven’t seen many of the guys in a long time.»

«I wasn’t worried about meeting them, but honestly, I got here yesterday morning, and it took me a long time to get to the practice range. For very good reasons.»

«I’ve been competing with these guys for 20, 26, 27 years. I haven’t seen some of them in 10 years.»

«They’re already 50 and have moved on. I’ve played some great Ryder Cup matches against so many players who are here (Stewart Cink and Chad Campbell, for example).»

«It’s something that makes me feel old, but also young, in a way.»

«My son Luke is competing and has competed in the Ryder Cup tournaments. USGA…will try to qualify for the U.S. Amateur in a few weeks. He tried to qualify for the U.S. Open this year, but didn’t make it, but he almost did last year.”

“I’ve played several U.S. Opens, and now I’ll play the U.S. Senior Open. It’s fantastic to see the Poulter family embrace all three of these titles.”

“Being here and meeting old friends means a lot to me. Just like old friends, old schoolmates you haven’t seen in a long time, it’s just fantastic.”
