ATLANTA – From a hanging lie 246 yards from the 18th green on Friday at the Tour Championship, Paul Casey hit his best shot of the day.
“Four-iron, couldn't have been any better looking,” the Englishman said, smiling.
That moment of satisfaction quickly passed, however, as the shot bounced hard on the green and bounded over the back and into the rough. There was a confused pause before Casey realized what had happened.
“I just saw on TV [caddie Johnny McLaren] looks like he's in trouble. He's got his hand on his mouth, biting his tongue,” Casey explained.
