'Beaten up' Casey battles on

Paul Casey described himself as feeling “like I’ve been beaten up” after a second round 72 in the Volvo Masters at Valderrama today.

Better than he was, but still “weak and lethargic” because of suspected food poisoning, the European Tour Order of Merit leader reached halfway in the season-ending event down on six over par, 11 strokes behind leader Jose Manuel Lara.
