Casey’s regret over Cup ‘hatred’ comments

PAUL CASEY has revealed his ‘sadness’ at the storm caused by his comments about the US Ryder Cup team last month.

Following Europe’s record victory at Oakland Hills, Casey was quoted in a newspaper article saying: “Oh, we properly hate them. We wanted to beat them as badly as possible.”

Those comments were seized upon by another paper and caused massive controversy in the week when Casey teamed up with Luke Donald to win the World Cup for England in Seville.
