Tiger loses out to Casey

Paul Casey won his first PGA Tour event since 2009 in the Valspar Championship yesterday as Tiger Woods came up just short in his own remarkable bid for an overdue victory.

Casey carded a final round of 65 on the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort to set a clubhouse target of 10 under par.

Woods, pictured, was two behind with three holes to play but holed from 40 feet for an unlikely birdie on the 17th and had a similar distance on the last to force a play-off.

But the 14-time major winner was unable to repeat the feat and had to settle for a share of second place.
