PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Paul Casey has won on both sides of the Atlantic, is ranked inside the top 15 in the world and sits 18 holes away from becoming the first-ever repeat winner at the Valspar Championship.
Just don’t call him the favorite.
Casey holds a one-shot lead through 54 holes at Innisbrook, with world No. 1 Dustin Johnson alone in second place one shot back and former No. 1 Luke Donald in a tie for fourth. Casey played in the final pairing Saturday and will again have a spot in the anchor tee time during the final round, this time with Johnson.
