Casey lands shot of the month award


Paul Casey’s hole-in-one in the final round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship has been voted the European Tour Shot of the Month for March.

It is the third time this year that an ace has received the award. In January it was Sergio Garcia in Abu Dhabi and in February Martin Kaymer in Dubai.

Casey’s eight-iron shot was particularly memorable for the banter which followed with caddie Craig Connelly, who thought they were going to share the cash value of the car on display behind the tee.

Connelly celebrated, but then had to be told the car was on offer at another hole.

Second place in the voting by fans went to Jamie Donaldson after he sank his second shot at the par-four 18th to complete a closing 61 at the Hassan Trophy in Morocco, while third was Julien Quesne’s four-iron to five feet on the last as he won the Andalucian Masters with a brilliant 64.
