No holding back from Poults here.

Golfer Ian Poulter is one of the feistier sportsmen around at the moment and he’s not exactly a man who’ll leave things unsaid if he feels the need to say them.

Last night, he wasn’t holding back when he was the target of a bit of a dig from former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, who drew a comparison between Poulter’s poor show at the Honda Classic earlier this week and Harrison Ford’s plane crash on a golf course in California on Thursday.

We’re sure McFadden was having a bit of a laugh and after all, he wasn’t the only one to make a joke about Ford’s plane crash once it was clear he was going to be fine; Gary Lineker, for example, attracted a little bit of criticism for doing likewise last night.

Still, if you play with fire you’re going to get burned and McFadden had plenty coming back to him in the comments directly under the tweet, which we’ll let you have a look at for yourself over here.

Zing!
