Casey thrashes Micheel by record margin

Paul Casey stormed to the £1m (€1.49m) first prize – the biggest in golf – by crushing American Shaun Micheel by a record 10 and eight margin in the final of the HSBC World Match Play Championship at Wentworth today.

After scoring a three-under-par 69 in the morning round and going to lunch three up, the Ryder Cup star, who earns his second cap for Europe at the K Club near Dublin this week, went into overdrive.
