SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Ian Poulter managed a grin after hitting a shot that would give most players nightmares.Poulter stepped to the tee at the par-3 16th during the second round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open late in the afternoon. With the sizeable crowd already in a well-hydrated frenzy, he proceeded to shank his tee shot into the stands that line the right side of the green.After a fan threw the ball back out into the fairway, Poulter took a drop and ultimately made a bogey. But following a 2-under 69 that left him 3 under for the tournament, he was able to take the cringe-worthy shot in stride.

Its not my first shank, and it wont be my last shank, Poulter said. Thats it. I laugh at it. Its pretty funny.Poulter is coming off the heels of a two-week stretch on the European Tours Desert Swing, and at No. 57 in the world he is still hoping to crack the top 50 in time to qualify for the Masters. Its a far cry from the Englishmans position a year ago, when he was fighting to retain status on the PGA Tour, and it helped lend a bit of perspective after hitting perhaps the most-feared shot in golf in front of one of the largest galleries ever assembled.Feel good, feel happy. Playing nicely, Poulter said. Three weeks in a row, its good for me to get on a little run. Start looking forward to a couple weeks off after this, and then have a nice little run after that as well. Hopefully try to play five events in a row, get a bit of momentum.
Playing the famous stadium par-3 16th at TPC Scottsdale on Friday, Poulter flushed one off of the shaft of his short iron on the 163-yard hole and sent the ball traveling horizontally into the stands that thankfully were clearing out for the day.
