HUMBLE, Texas Ian Poulters Masters chance isnt dead just yet.The Englishman suffered bitter disappointment last week at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, where his quarterfinal loss left him barely short of qualifying for Augusta National via the world rankings. The new No. 51 in the world took the weekend to consider his options, but he ultimately decided to keep his commitment to play in this weeks Houston Open.Poulter was one of 33 players who failed to finish the opening round before dark last night, and he returned this morning to the Golf Club of Houston to play one hole. A par closed out a 1-over 73, which given the soft conditions and easy scoring seemingly ended any opportunity he had of an 11th-hour win.

But things can change quickly out here, as Poulter showed with a bogey-free 64 that featured only 22 putts and vaulted him to 7 under, four shots back with a chance to contend over the weekend.Holed a few putts, Poulter said. I mean, I played well yesterday. My stats were pretty good yesterday, I just didnt convert the putts. Started to roll the putter pretty good today, and thats the key to shooting 8 under par. You cant make any mistakes, and you have to roll the ball well. Ive been playing like this for a bit, just havent got the rub. So today, it was nice to get the rub.Poulter missed the Masters last year for the first time since 2006, and hes been on the cusp of qualifying via the top 50 in the world rankings for much of the spring. With his path down Magnolia Lane now limited to a victory in Houston, which would serve as his first worldwide win since 2012, Poulter is opting to focus on the task at hand.Im not thinking about it, Im not thinking about it. Im not even talking about it now, Poulter said. I was angry yesterday, felt I took myself out of the golf tournament. Obviously I put myself back in today with a good round. Im going to need another couple of good rounds, but well see how we go. Its easier to go that way around than keep talking about it. Obviously I would like to make it, so lets see how we go.
Looking for his second victory in three weeks, Ian Poulter shot a 4-under 67 on Saturday to take a third-round lead at the RBC Heritage. Poulter is one stroke ahead of Luke List and Si Woo Kim.
