Rickie Fowler and Ian Poulter were voted the most overrated players on tour by their peers earlier this month, and Fowler quickly disproved that theory with an impressive playoff-win at the Players Championship.
Now, its Poulter with a chance to prove he belongs amongst the game's best.

“Do you think I pay attention to what people think?” Poulter said with a chuckle, via the Star-Telegram. “I mean, seriously. Come on. It’s water off a duck’s back.
“Obviously, Rickie went out there and made amends to that comment. He’s taking care of his business. It’s time for me to take care of mine.”
Kevin Na will enter Sunday's round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club with a one-shot lead over the enigmatic Englishman, but there are a host of other talented golfers on his tail as well.
It should be an exciting final round on Memorial Day weekend. Here is what each player, in contention, needs to do to bring home the win:
Kevin Na (-11) — Na is a talented golfer who seems to be dialed into his game right now. His iron-game and putting have looked great this week. Now, it will be interesting to see if he can handle the pressure on Sunday.
Ian Poulter (-10) — Poulter played terribly with the lead at the Honda Classic earlier this year, but comes in with an extra bit of motivation this time around. It's tough to say Poulter is overrated with such a stellar career. His short-game and putting, teamed with an unmatched tenacity, could help him lift the trophy on Sunday.
Charley Hoffman (-9) — Hoffman is seemingly near the leaders come Sunday in every event, so it might come as a surprise that he only has two top-10's all season. Hoffman is in very good position to pull this one out if he can stay focused and limit the "big number."
Chris Kirk (-8) — Kirk could be considered the dark horse on Sunday. He sits three shots back and unlike Poulter, doesn't demand very much attention. The others should be wary of the world's 23rd ranked golfer that has a top-5 finish on this course and is starting to show some form.
Brandt Snedeker (-8) — "Sneds" has scuffled since his win at Pebble Beach earlier in the year. He only has one top-15 in seven starts since that event, but is a much better player than that. A quick start could go a long way for the streaky-putting Snedeker.
Jordan Spieth (-6) — Spieth has toured the entire leaderboard this week. He's gone way up, then back down, and has settled five shots back heading into the final round. The Dallas native will have plenty of support as he leads his Sunday charge.
Adam Scott (-6) — Finally, Scott has put two good rounds together (66-66), and more importantly, has looked comfortable with his swing. A win would be nice, but Scott will mainly be looking to continue the momentum he's gained this week.
