Real wake up calls needed at the Australian PGA Championship

Associated Press  

GOLD COAST, Australia — Harold Varner III set his alarm for 2:45 a.m. For a more seasoned pro such as Ian Poulter, it was a relatively more leisurely wakeup call for 3:30. Varner and Poulter were among the players who didn’t finish their first rounds before the postponement, and had to be back at Royal Pines Resort to tee off at 5:30 a.m. on Friday “I can’t just get up and feel good. it was nice to rebound, finish really strong.” Varner had planned to watch a round of Tiger Woods’ comeback at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on TV, so there was one benefit to leaving his hotel at 3:45 a.m. “When I got here he was leading. “I didn’t manage to get any jetlag at all flying from America, but a tee time’s managed to give me jetlag!” Poulter said he’s happy with his form over the last five tournaments after changing back to an old putter. “A little frustrated not to finish the round off strong once I made five birdies on my outward 9 this morning, so it could have been a few better, but I’m in position.”
