Paul Casey successfully defended his title Sunday at the Valspar Championship as the Englishman held on for a one-shot victory over Jason Kokrak and Louis Oosthuizen. Here’s how it all unfolded:
What it means: Entering this 19th edition of the Valspar, no player had won back-to-back titles at Innisbrook, and just two players (Retief Goosen and K.J. Choi) had won multiple times. Casey secured his own piece of Valspar history by capping his week with a 1-over 72 and watching his challengers, including Dustin Johnson, fall by the wayside in windy conditions. Casey made five bogeys and found himself tied with Kokrak for the lead after a three-putt bogey at the par-3 17th.
