Valspar Championship - 2019 Leaderboard - PGA TOUR
Paul Casey backed up his 2018 Valspar win with a +1, 72 round on Sunday to defend at the Copperhead Course.
It was anything but pretty though. Casey survived an over par round to bag the win the because nobody made a run late. Jason Kokrak (zero wins on Tour) had a legit chance to win, and an even better chance to force a playoff, but couldn't get up and down from the fringe on 18 resulting in a bogey dropping him to -7 and T2.
Dustin Johnson was in the final group with Casey and put NO PRESSURE at all on the Englishman....for an unheralded event...I really liked how the course held up to the best in the world...that showed up...dozens of missed putts inside 6' for the week.
Nice to see a real challenge for the players.
