Ian Poulter narrowly prevented catastrophe at LIV Golf UK on Thursday as a free drive from Bryson DeChambeau practically hit him within the head.
Veteran Poulter, 50, was left furious along with his rival as he ready to take his personal shot on the golf green, however no ‘fore’ shout got here from the American.
DeChambeau watched on because the Englishman circled, raging, after the ball had landed round a metre from him.
Poulter gave a sarcastic shout of ‘fore’ within the path of DeChambeau, after the gang had reacted in shock after the Englishman narrowly prevented a nasty damage.
The ironic shout from Poulter was in reference to the shout golfers often make when a ball is about to land close to an opponent.
DeChambeau opted to slap his thigh in frustration on the JCB Golf and Nation Membership in Rocester.

It had appeared, although, that nobody instructed him his effort was heading for an opponent, and a calmer Poulter had that view when talking about it after the day’s play.
‘It wasn’t his fault in any respect,’ he instructed TNT Sports activities. ‘It simply grazed the ear, I believe on the best way previous, it was very shut. It would not have been good, it could have damage – loads.
‘That was a shock to the system, the center charge went up fairly a bit. When you’ll be able to hear that ball reducing by means of the air because it passes your ear.’
Commentators on the channel stated: ‘He did not know, nobody instructed him.
‘You can inform Bryson was very sorry. Nobody instructed him. That is nobody’s fault right here.’
