HSBC WORLD MATCH-PLAY FINAL

CASEY WINS BY 10&8 - THE BIGGEST WINNING
MARGIN IN THE 43 FINALS AT WENTWORTH

England's Paul Casey wrote another record-breaking chapter in the long and illustrious history of the HSBC world match-play championship at sun-drenched Wentworth Club, Surrey when he produced the biggest victory in 43 finals, defeating a battle-weary Shaun Micheel of the United States by a whopping 10 and 8 margin over the West Course.
Micheel was the man who toppled world No 1 Tiger Woods in the first round of the tournament.
Casey's victory was worth the biggest prize in world pro golf - a cheque for £1,000,000.
But, more important, from an European team point of view, it will have given them a wonderful morale-boost as the Ryder Cup match looms up this week.
Micheel's reward for reaching the 36-hole final was £400,000.
