The 1600: Now Boarding the USS Idiocracy
English Ryder Cup legend’s son, 21, agonisingly misses out on US Open after losing sudden-death play-off
A RYDER CUP legend’s son agonisingly missed out on qualifying for the US Open – after losing a sudden-death play-off.
His old man forged a reputation as one of Europe’s great stars across his seven appearances in the competition.


Now the next generation is hoping to follow in his footsteps.
But Ian Poulter’s son Luke fell just short of booking his spot in the field for the upcoming US Open.
Bryson DeChambeau will attempt to defend his crown at Oakmont next week.
Despite his best efforts, though, Poulter Jr will not be teeing it up.
Amateur Luke, 21, put himself in serious contention with a stunning bogey-free round of 65 in his second round at Emerald Dunes Golf Club on Tuesday.
That saw him finish tied fourth after 36 holes – ahead of the likes of Graeme McDowell and Nicolai Hojgaard.
But with just four spots up for grabs at the US Open, the University of Florida student went into a play-off with Austen Truslow.
Truslow has made eight PGA Tour starts.

And his experience told as he came out on top.
But for Poulter Jr, ranked as the world No3228, he can take pride from his superb effort – especially as it came just a year after suffering a stress fracture in his back.
He is now reliant on withdrawals to get into the 156-man entrants list for the US Open, what would be his golf major debut.
But dad Ian – who has 16 points and five Ryder Cup wins to his name – remains very proud of his lad’s achievements.
LIV Golf rebel Poulter Sr said: “I can’t believe how impressive today’s 65 was to get into that position.
“We keep using this as incredible experience and we keep getting better.
“[Luke’s got] an alternate spot but not sure what number it will be.”
Incredibly, Poulter Jr was not the only son of a sporting father in contention.
Tyler Weaver, son of iconic jockey Jason, beat two-time major champion Zach Johnson on his way to securing US Open qualification.




Legendary journeyman footballer finally retires at 46 after playing more than 900 times for FORTY-TWO clubs
LEGENDARY football journeyman Jefferson Louis has retired at the age of 46 after playing over 900 times for 42 clubs.
The iconic striker had been slogging it out on the field since 1996 with Risborough Rangers.


Louis’ travels saw him play for an incredible 42 sides, including Oxford United, Bristol Rovers and Wrexham.
He was most recently playing Thame United in the Southern League Division One Central.
But after 903 career appearances, and more than FIFTY transfers, Louis has finally retired.
However, fans will be pleased to hear that he hasn’t quit football for good.
That’s because he has immediately taken an assistant coaching role at Slough Town, who compete in England’s sixth tier in the National League South.
Louis made five appearances there as a player in 2023.
During that time, he also worked as a performance coach for teammates.
And manager Scott Davies believes Louis has the right skills to become a hit in the dugout.

He declared: “Football these days for me is more about mentality than ability.
“Every player at the level has ability which has allowed them to get to this point, but it’s so important that we, as a management team can tap into their psychological side too.


“Throughout the season, individuals will need one-to-one chats when things aren’t going as well as they may have hoped.
“And I strongly believe that with myself, Yella and now Jefferson joining the group, we’ve got all bases covered with the wealth of experience we have that we can now give back to the players.”
Slough fans reacted with delight at the news.
One said “Class this, great gaffer to learn off.”
Another declared: “Superb appointment, welcome back.”
One noted: “Absolutely love this, welcome Louis.”
Another added: “So much experience and knowledge at this level.”
