Casey: rib still not 100%

February 18, 2010 - 0:0

Paul Casey has been told it could take a full year for him to recover fully from the torn rib muscle he suffered last summer.

But, like Rory McIlroy with his sore back, Casey is not going into the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona fearing injury could force him to withdraw.
""It gets very fatigued and I feel it late at night, but it's not hindering me on the course,"" said last year's runner-up, who plays Canadian Stephen Ames in the first round.
""I'm not holding back on shots and I'm not feeling any pain when I hit the ball, but it's still not 100 per cent. That could take a very long time.""
