Paul Casey: Setback to Rib Injury

Update: Casey withdrew from the final round of the HSBC Champions tournament in China after suffering a setback to his rib injury. “He has felt pain before, but he felt it severely enough,” Casey’s manager, Guy Kinnings, told the BBC.

Recommendation: Casey will visit a specialist and will not play next week. He only returned two weeks ago after failing to complete a tournament since the British Open due to a strained intercostal muscle. It looks like he could be sidelined awhile with this setback and may just decide to get rest until the 2010 season begins.
