Ian Poulter revealed he left the Scottish Open early on Sunday night to make a mad dash to London to claim his tickets for the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy.

The English golf star had tickets for the Wembley match but had to round off his effort to win the Open at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick - nearly 400 miles away from the match was taking place.

Rain delays meant Poulter was nervously looking at the clock throughout his round, where he ended the final day's play on 17 under par and in contention to win the Open.

The English golfer had tickets in a box at Wembley but needed to rush in a 400-mile dash

But when one of Min Wo Lee, Thomas Detry and Matthew Fitzpatrick posted 18 under par, thereby ruling out his chances of winning the Scottish Open, Poulter left the competition early to get on
