Casey could partner Harrington

Paul Casey’s American fiancee had some news for him when he returned to the team hotel last night – he could be the man to partner Open and PGA champion Padraig Harrington when the Ryder Cup starts on Friday.

“I honestly have no clue, but Jocelyn told me there’s a rumour going around. I think the odds were 10-1,” said Casey, one of captain Nick Faldo’s two wild cards.
