Paul Casey gives $100,000 to Houston charity

Paul Casey promised to help a local charity after winning the Houston Open last year for his first US PGA Tour victory. Tournament officials discovered today that it was no idle small talk. The English Ryder Cup player was serious.
Casey and his wife, Jocelyn, are giving $100,000 to a charity through the Houston Golf Association, which runs the event. He will work with tournament director Steve Timms to figure out which charity gets the money.
Casey, a runner-up at the World Match-play Championship on Sunday in Arizona, flew to Houston to make the announcement and meet with the media about his title defence. He won last year in a play-off over J B Holmes.
The Houston Open is held from April 1-4.
