German Masters
FINAL RESULT: 0-3; -3.00pts
Casey 6th

The sort of event that makes you wonder why you do this! Had Gut
Larchenhof been a 16-hole course, Casey would have won this event. He
was 10-over-par for the last two holes and finished eight shots behind
Harrington who was level-par on these holes for the week. There was even
the consolation of a place win when Casey was 2nd with two holes to
play, but a quadruple-bogey and single-bogey meant he dropped out of the
places. Just can't control for finishes like that!

A 3rd place finish in the BMW International Open two weeks ago was
Casey's best finish for almost three months and it was a welcome return
to the form that earned him his automatic Ryder Cup spot. The open
fairways and low-scoring conditions at Gut Larchenhof should suit
Casey's attacking style and it was only a final round 75 last year that
denied him successive top-3 finishes in this event. Can't see him
falling back so easily this year.

"Cometh the hour" and all that, Monty has not been as impressive in a
very long time as he was at the BMW International Open when his wildcard
selection was on the line. He finally looked confident again over his
putts and it bodes well for the Ryder Cup, but also for this event. He
won the first staging of this event at Gut Larchenhof in 1998 and this
really is a large price for someone who is much less likely to beat
himself after his vote of confidence from Bernhard Langer.
David Lynn to win 66/1 e.w. @

Difficult to ignore a price like this on a player who has finished 6th,
1st and 6th in his last three starts. And they have hardly been against
weak fields either. He has good form on this course with finishes of
6th, 14th and 37th and is certainly on a roll. Currently ranked 8th in
scoring average on Tour, he is a big price when a few Ryder Cup players
may coast this week if they get off to a slow start.
