Ian Poulter demonstrates a 300-yard stinger and enjoys a light-hearted Q&A with the Carnoustie fans ahead of The Open.

Ian Poulter was in good spirits as he made an appearance at The Open Zone and took some light-hearted questions from the fans at Carnoustie.

Poulter detailed a few tweaks he has made in his swing, highlighting more stability in his legs, and then enjoyed hitting a "300-yard stinger" with a five-iron - a shot that may come in useful in the hard and fast conditions for The 147th Open this week.

The Ryder Cup legend then took some questions from the fans at the range, which included one on whether he would prefer to win the Claret Jug, or see England bringing home the World Cup!
