[Irish]

i'd hope that IG and Andy might pop along to this thread in a bit as he's from their neck of the woods they may be able to shine some light on his background (not that it makes any difference imo)

all I can tell you about this kid is that hes been winning a lot of amateur events over the past few years in ireland...over here we anything like that will generate a huge amount of interest as we are a sports mad nation...therefore the kid has had the spotlight thrust on him from a very early age...

personally i really don't see how you can judge a kid by his appearence...personally i love the way poulter dresses and he has brought the game of golf in the uk to a new and wider audience with the gear and the hair etc...
