Ian Poulter daggers U.S. Ryder Cup team with savage T-shirt to rub in the European win in France

With as much success as Ian Poulter has had in the Ryder Cup, most would agree the Englishman has earned the right to talk smack as much as he wants. Mr. Ryder Cup has been a part of four winning European Ryder Cup squads, boosting a 14-6-2 record (including 5-0-1 in singles) along the way.
