Poulter reportedly covers drinks after Great Britain and Ireland’s Walker Cup win
The Ryder Cup veteran announced an open bar at a Lahinch celebration after GB&I came from behind to defeat the United States.
Great Britain and Ireland celebrated winning the 51st Walker Cup with a post-match gathering in Lahinch, Ireland, after a comeback victory over the United States.
According to the supplied Golfweek report published by Yahoo Sports, Ian Poulter announced through a microphone at a local bar that drinks were on him. The report does not provide independent confirmation of the bill or establish how long the offer lasted.
Poulter then led the crowd in an “Ole, Ole ole ole” chant as players and their families continued the celebration. The account was supported in part by social-media video from the venue.
The victory was described by the source as GB&I’s first Walker Cup win in more than a decade. Poulter, a Ryder Cup veteran, had attended the event alongside his son Luke, who won his Sunday singles match.
Poulter has accompanied Luke at the past two Walker Cups, including the tournaments at Cypress Point and Lahinch. He was among the first to celebrate with his son after the match.
