Poulter eyes victory

Ian Poulter slipped seven strokes behind leader Phil Mickelson after the second round at the Players Championship yesterday, but don’t think he will play the final two rounds to make up the numbers.

“I’ve got a great chance,” Poulter said after a respectable one-under-par 71 at the Sawgrass TPC. “I've just got to play golf. If I do that, and don’t make any silly mistakes, I’ll have a chance to win Sunday afternoon.
