Ian Poulter played the Stadium Course at TPC Saw- grass hundreds of times before he ever walked it in person. Poulter said Wednesday he learned the layout by playing PlayStation. “The island green, I’ve probably played more rounds of it on PlayStation as a kid than I ever have now,” he said. “I don’t play anymore, but I’m just saying as a kid, I mean, hours in a pro shop.” He said video games helped him learn the course faster than he would have normally. How did he fare on No. 17, the famed island green? “I’ve made birdie there all the time on the computer,” he said. The Associated Press
