Ian Poulter is only four shots off the lead at 7-over par and sits T10 heading into the final round of the U.S. Open. But the top-10 position, and opportunity for his first major, didn’t exactly satisfy the Englishman, as he took to Twitter on Saturday evening to tear apart the USGA.
Interestingly (or not), as the night wore on, Poulter’s anger grew (hold my cold beer?).
In his first tweet (8:22 pm), he admits he’s in the hunt and won’t comment.
I’m not sure i could possibly comment without using words which shouldn’t be seen… just like some of those pins. “Disappointing” @USGA @usopengolf why are mistake still being made at this level. Was that fun to watch guys ? I’m only 4 behind & can still win this ???? https://t.co/sbXm36JmAN

About 20 minutes later (8:37 pm), Poulter gets a little angrier.
Is that an apology ?
Just grow a set of balls and say we £€¥#ed it up again…
You don’t get mulligan’s in business at this level. how can this team keep doing this without consequences. https://t.co/INvUmT6M6P— Ian Poulter (@IanJamesPoulter) June 17, 2018
Then about an hour later (9:27 pm) he lets loose and calls the USGA a bunch of “bozos.”
Thanks guys did Bozo set the course up or are the @USGA going to accept responsibility or just say “IF WE HAD A MULLIGAN” I would have liked about 6 mulligans today. But they are not allowed at this level. “Apparently” pic.twitter.com/O08vOpNlTx

Pro Tip: Don’t drink and tweet.
