Kim accused of 'shoulder barge'

- US Ryder cup news
US star Anthony Kim has been accused of barging past one of the European players during Saturday's (September 20th) single matches at the Ryder Cup.

Cobra's Ian Poulter - the best-performing player in the European side with four points from five matches - was annoyed after Nike Golf star Kim allegedly walked into him on the 14th tee.

Describing the incident, Poulter commented: "It was someone who just decided that I wasn't there and they would like to walk through me, as opposed to walking around me, as I was walking off the [14th] tee.

"He decided to drop his right shoulder into me. I said, 'that was awfully nice' and he said, 'What?'"

Controversy
Kim set the ball rolling for the US in Sunday's singles matches, beating European number two Sergio Garcia 5 and 4 in the first match-up.

More ill-feeling appeared to arise in the Garcia-Kim match, with both players refusing to concede putts which would usually be considered as 'gimmes'.
