WITB Time Machine: Paul Casey’s winning WITB, 2018 Valspar Championship

Published

on

Paul Casey captured the 2018 Valspar Championship (and his first tour win in nine years) with a dramatic come-from-behind performance, firing a final-round 6-under 65. The Englishman finished at 10 under par and won by one stroke. Starting the final day five shots off the lead, Casey surged up the leaderboard with seven birdies, then watched from the clubhouse as Tiger Woods narrowly missed a birdie putt on the 18th that would have forced a playoff, leaving Woods and Patrick Reed tied for second at 9 under.
