AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am of this week is entirely a new world for Ian Poulter of England. The world number 22 golfer has never taken part in the AT&T Pro-Am till this week.

Katie, Poulter’s wife, gave birth to their 4th child – Joshua, recently. He posted, “Life can’t get better.” On his twitter page. He uploaded his son’s pics and tweeted, “You could say I’m a very proud daddy. It’s going to be hard leaving to play golf,”

Since Joshua’s birth, Ian is staying closer to his home situated in Orlando. He decided not to go to Dubai or Abu Dhabi; instead he decided to start the 2012 season in the United States.

Recently, Ian finished tie for forty-fifth at the Phoenix Open, last week. That was also his season’s first event. He stated that his wife had the baby and therefore he is not in the desert. The thirty-six year old English golfer will be making his competitor debut both at the Shore Course and Spyglass Hill.

On Monday, after practice, he tweeted that the course’s 4th hole has “the thinnest green I’ve ever seen.” Poulter, the champion of Australian Masters, would obviously like to hold the good vibes this week. For the Pro-Am event, his amateur partner will be Peter Ueberroth, the Pebble Beach Co. co-owner. Ian added that he is here to try and win the event.
The Englishman would like to start the new season, just like he ended the previous season – with a win. A week before Christmas, his win at the Australian Masters against players including Luke Donald was really huge win at the end of the season. He also won Volvo World Match Play last year.
