Poulter tattles on heckler, heckler doesn't mind

Jordan Spieth wasn't the only Tour pro to go after someone on social media during the Valspar Championship, but Ian Poulter took it a step further, attempting to get a heckler in trouble by tagging his employer in a tweet.

According to J.J. Downum's Twitter account, he heckled Poulter on Saturday in Tampa with lines from "Happy Gilmore." The 40-year old, two-time PGA Tour winner responded by asking tournament officials to remove the man and his friend, and then promptly hit his tee shot on the 197-yard par-3 13th hole into in the water.

But that's where the story really gets good.
