What is the topic of conversation when four of the biggest names in golf are sitting at the same table having shot a combined – 29 over par.

That was the scenario when Ian Poulter, Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton and Henrik Stenson sat down for a late lunch post the opening round of The Players championship at TPC Sawgrass.

Hatton was the ‘best’ of the fourball – posting a four-over par 76.  Poulter next with a 77 while McIlroy shocked his fan-base with a horror 79.

And former Open Champion Stenson slumped to one of his poorest rounds in sometime in signing for an 13-over par 85.

That’s 4-over + 5-over + 7-over + 13-over = 29-over par on day one of the $15m PGA Tour flagship event.

“It’s a hella of a table here, here in the Players Longue”, said Poulter.

“I’ve just decided to sit down to join Tyrrell, Rory and I.  So collectively, are four people sitting at this table, and Henrik’s just left, who are 29-over par (smiling).

Poulter then begins to shake his head back-and-forward to the sound of laughter and remarking:  “Oh!  What a bunch of Muppets”.
