The Masters: Bernhard Langer BURNS Ian Poulter on Twitter!
Ian Poulter was probably not expecting this response from Bernhard Langer...
Bernhard Langer has burned Ian Poulter on social media after seeing a video Poulter posted about him on Twitter at the weekend.
Poulter, who was part of Langer's victorious 2004 European Ryder Cup team, retold a story how a security guard at Augusta National - venue for this week's Masters Tournament - mistook him for the German.

"I'm a little bit upset," said Poulter, who was sat in his Augusta living room with his caddie Terry Mundy.
"We've walked off 18 today, and I went into the pro shop to look for a couple of items for Terry.
"I came back out and he said something has just tickled me. He said the security guard just said to me 'Hey sir, was that Mr Langer?'
"Bernhard Langer! He should be on the TV. I'm getting old... but Bernhard Langer?!"
Cue the response of two-time Masters champion Langer, who at the age of 63 makes his 37th appearance at The Masters this week:
Ha. Good thing the guard didn't ask to see your Green Jacket @IanJamesPoulter. That would've been awkward. I have an extra. Maybe we can go to the pro shop @TheMasters together next week and get you something nice. My treat! pic.twitter.com/wUhpzIYDyH

Poulter responded with: "That's awesome. Can you buy me an extra 80 yards on my driver please and a pot of that anti-aging cream."
