PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Luke Poulter had a day to remember Thursday at Cypress Point.

Off early on the second-to-last day of prep for the 50th Walker Cup, the 20-year-old Englishman holed out twice in his first three holes, including a hole-in-one at the par-3 third, and later nearly recorded another ace, at the par-3 15th.

Poulter’s first hole-out came at the par-4 first, where Poulter spun back a 56-degree wedge from 110 yards. Poulter added an alternate-shot birdie at the second hole before stepping up to the third tee last among the Great Britain and Ireland fivesome.

“A smooth 9-iron,” Poulter said of the shot he holed from 155 yards.

“I do have a controversial ace,” he revealed.

That came during a practice round for the 2023 Georgetown Inter
