Palmer rewards Casey for Ryder Cup hole-in-one
Arnold Palmer has sent a personal message to England's Paul Casey congratulating him on playing "the ultimate shot" - his hole-in-one at the K Club on the second day of the Ryder Cup.
The four-iron shot on the 14th clinched Casey's foursomes match with David Howell against Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson.
Designer of the course and the record American points-scorer in the event, Palmer signed the following message on a giant replica image of the hole depicted in the latest yardage guide: "Paul, what a time to play the ultimate shot! Well done!"
The replica image was presented to Casey at St Andrews this afternoon ahead of his appearance as leader of the European Tour Order of Merit in the dunhill links championship.
John McHenry, Director of Golf at The K Club said: "Paul played a wonderful shot at the 14th which lifted the European team and all of its supporters.
"It is highly appropriate that Arnold Palmer, as the course designer and a great Ryder Cup competitor himself, should send his congratulations to Paul and we are delighted to present him with this special image of the hole on behalf of The K Club and CourseGuide."
