Poulter's Masters start hits snag

Augusta - Ian Poulter's practice round at the Masters has hit a small snag on Tuesday - the English golfer turned up at the course without his golf clubs.

"Yes yes yes I drive to Augusta national this morning without my clubs and had to go back and get them. I'm a plumb..." Poulter said on Twitter.

Poulter's tweet was in reply to caddy Terry Mundy who had previously posted:"Just met the boss @TheMasters and unfortunately he has arrived without his clubs! That will be a trip back to the house then."

The 39-year-old Poulter begins the Masters on Thursday still searching for his first major title.
