GREENSBORO, N.C. – With a runner-up finish at the PGA Championship now under his belt, Paul Casey is turning his attention to East Lake.
The Englishman wasn’t among the pre-tournament favorites last week in San Francisco, but he held up well during the final round en route to a T-2 finish that marks his best career result in a major at age 43. It also solidified his postseason aspirations, as Casey originally added this week’s Wyndham Championship in an effort to ensure he’d be inside the top 125. Instead, he’s up to No. 54 in the points race and looking for more after rounds of 67-66 left him three shots off the lead heading into the weekend at steamy Sedgefield Country Club.
