AUGUSTA, Ga. – Paul Casey’s best finish at the Masters, a tie for fourth place, four strokes behind fellow Englishman Danny Willett, was largely thanks to his best round at Augusta National.
Of course, Casey’s closing 67 – which tied for the round of the day and included no bogeys – may have been statistically his best at the Masters, but relatively speaking he’s had better.
“I’ve had 68 quite a few times, but I think I’ve had better, stronger rounds in tougher conditions,” Casey said.

That’s not to say Casey didn’t appreciate his closing card, which lifted him from a tie for 16th through three rounds and delivered his best finish in a major since the 2010 Open Championship.
“In a final round it just feels so good. This one is up there,” he said.
