Casey lands golfer-of-the-month award

European Order of Merit leader Paul Casey has been named September’s European Tour Golfer of the Month after winning the HSBC World Match Play Championship and playing a starring role in the Ryder Cup.

Casey banked £1m (€1.5m), the richest first prize in golf, after a record-breaking 10 and eight victory over American Shaun Micheel in the matchplay final at Wentworth to go top of the money list.
