SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. - Ian Poulter was somewhat guarded with his comments to the media in the minutes following his third round of the U.S. Open, but the Englishman later took to Twitter to join the large chorus of voices questioning the USGA's setup at Shinnecock Hills.
Poulter started the third round in a tie for fourth place, five shots behind Dustin Johnson. But with the course baked to the brink by afternoon winds and crusty conditions, the Englishman dropped into a tie for 10th place following a 6-over 76. At 7 over for the tournament, he trails a quartet of co-leaders by four shots with one round to go.
