Golf: Poulter wins Australian Masters

MELBOURNE: England’s Ian Poulter finished the season by donning the gold Australian Masters winner’s jacket after a resilient final round of four-under 67 in Melbourne. Poulter finished with a 72-hole total of 15-under par 269, three clear of Australian Marcus Fraser (12-under 272) and four ahead of 2006 US Open winner Geoff Ogilvy (11-under 273). “To win this is the second highlight in what has been a tough year for me,” said Poulter.
