The video does not show what sparked Poulter’s rage, however it is being reported that the Englishman was being persistently heckled by one particular fan.
An irate Poulter asked the individual: "Why don't you f*** off?"
He then followed his explosive rant up with: "You were f****** piping up on the 18th tee, so f*** off."
Attempting to ease the tension between the pair, the fan replies: "Just relax."

However, his attempts to simmer the agitation only served to further fuel the Arsenal fan, who continued: "I suggest you shut the f*** up."
Poulter then issued a warning whilst being wheeled away on the back of a buggy, saying: "Next time he's out."
It was a tough day for the Ryder Cup hero whose luggage failed to turn up on arrival in Houston.
He went on to shoot a disappointing round of 79 to finish 2-over par in T46 in the 57-man field.
