English trio on form in Arizona
Saturday, February 20th, 2010
Paul Casey (11/4 – WGC Accenture Match Play Outright) is confident with the solid game he is currently playing as he is one of three English golfers bidding for glory at the WGC-Accenture Match Play in Tucson, Arizona.
The Englishman was runner-up in this tournament 12 months ago and qualified for the quarter-finals this year by beating Brian Gay 5&4.
Casey is now the highest-ranked golfer in the remaining field and had to come from behind in Arizona after Gay was ahead after three holes, but five birdies in six holes turned the clash around and meant the world number six has yet to play the final four holes at Dove Mountain.
He will now play Stewart Cink, the reigning Open champion and last remaining American golfer in the field, in the quarter-final but Casey had admitted his game is coming together in Arizona and could be in with a good chance of lifting the trophy (Casey 4/7, Cink 5/4 – 2 ball coupon).
“I don’t think there’s any one particular part of my game that’s jumping out that is fantastic right now. It’s just all very, very solid,” he said.
Casey is one of three English golfers left in the Accenture Match Play as he is joined in the quarter-finals by Oliver Wilson and Ian Poulter.
In the final eight, Wilson will play Sergio Garcia (Garcia 8/11, Wilson evens – 2 ball coupon) while Poulter faces Thongchai Jaidee after he beat Jeev Milkha Singh by 5&4 in the third round (Poulter 1/2, Jaidee 7/5 – 2 ball coupon).
