Bogey costs Poulter

Ian Poulter has missed out on the Tour Championship in Atlanta next week by 0.46 points after a shot into water on the final hole of the BMW Championship.

A closing par in Chicago would have kept the Ryder Cup star in the top 30 for the final leg of the FedEx Cup play-offs, but he bogeyed and so exited the series with 1,531 points against Australian John Senden’s 1,532.
