Ian Poulter today withdrew from the USPGA Championship at Whistling Straits ahead of the final round.

Poulter was lying last on five over par after rounds of 72, 72 and 77 in the last major of the season.

The 34-year-old, who had been suffering from a chest infection, revealed the decision on his Twitter feed.

“Guys, it’s a no go this morning, body is not strong enough, had to withdraw,” Poulter said.

“(I’m) gutted; first time I’ve ever had to do that when feeling ill.

“Flying back home to Orlando this morning, my bed is awaiting my arrival. I can’t get back quick enough.”
