Selfish Stint From Casey?
Paul Casey came into the WGC-Dell Matchplay having withdrawn the week before from the Valspar Championship because of injury.
In the first round he proceeded to play two holes against Corey Conners at Austin Country Club before conceding the match.
The second round was a similar situation except he withdrew on the first tee box after opponent Alex Noren had teed off.
Why though?
Why did he even wait until that late before conceding? Surely he felt the injury (or niggle) long before that time - whilst on the practice tee or chipping green etc? Is there something we perhaps don’t know surrounding the rules and when in particular he does concede a match?…I don’t seem to think so either.
But the biggest thing is that he unfortunately cost 1st alternate Bernd Wiesberger a spot in the field and a last chance for him of qualifying for the 2022 Masters (Top 50 in OWGR cut off on 28th March). Paul Casey obviously deserved his rightful spot in the Matchplay field, but was he selfish by knowing there was a 99% chance he was going to have to pull out of the event before the Round of 16?
Casey doesn’t need the money I know, but last place came with a $41 000 cheque which is always handy.

A quick glance at some engaging, interesting, contentious, ridiculous tweets over the last week.
Just a warning beforehand, this is painful to watch!!
Tiger was spotted playing and walking Medalist in Florida less than two weeks before the Masters. Looking more likely now that Tiger isn’t just pulling into Augusta to kick the feet up and then attend the Champions Dinner next Tuesday.
…and lastly Monty made sure he got his opinion across on the ‘incorrect’ terminologies used by commentators at the WGC-Dell Matchplay.

It took Scottie Scheffler 42 days from his maiden PGA Tour victory to World Number 1.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout doing his thing at the WGC for a young 9 year old who also stutters. So refreshing seeing this kind of thing. It goes a long way! 👏
The Masters is quite stressful for caddies each year. Check out why here
Wait a second! 😆

Here’s an interesting article from Golf Digest on the 15 people who rubbed the Augusta members up the wrong way over the years! One of whom was Gary Player who took his green jacket home with him after not winning in 1962. Only the defending champion can!
