Paul Casey, is he too negative?

[Beezerk]

I've been trying to keep up with the golf while on holiday in the USA, the channels here have picked up on it and it's something I've thought for a while.
He quite often leads or is in contention in a tournament and talks himself down acterwards, it's in a way in which he almost expects to lose. Even the missus commented on it last night while she was thoroughly enjoying the coverage 😁.

Never been a fan of Casey personally.. Dunno why but then my mate did stewarding for the volvo Match play few years ago and Casey was a complete dick to a 75yo fan so just confirmed to me my gut was right about him

I think he's a great player but he lacks the mental strength to compete for 4days. He often has 3 very good rounds and 1 poor round which costs him winning.

Oops ha ha, got up for a slash at 3am and saw it 😂

I have always wanted to like Casey, I really have. I think all pros have their moments where they make an error with a fan or journalist, it must be very hard when the cameras and mics are on you almost 24/7.

Putting any mistakes aside for now his golf is more than good enough, always seems to pop up on the leaderboard with a low coupl of rounds, leading me to think this might be his year, then he throws in a 75 and it's all gone. Four rounds is one too many at times.

Soon he will be overtaken by the younger talent, in his prime for now though.

You're right he's a ****.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

A player I can't warm too and it seems he does struggle when in contention, especially after two rounds to then keep it going. I think he's got a few years at his prime to get a big win but time is ticking

Anyone I know who has met him says he is a complete "insert your word here"

I didn't like the way he acted in regards the European Tour and Ryder Cup

Cried when he didn't get a pick in 2010 , he then lost his PGA tour card - came running back to the European Tour , complained like mad about the qualifying for the Ryder Cup , won a ET event - got an invite to PGA event , they changed the qualifying for the Ryder Cup making it easier for him - he then dumped his ET card. I hope when he loses his card again that he is made to qualify for a ET card

 

[C&R]

Don't like him

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

He's come across as a right arrogant d!ckhead to me

 

[sawtooth]

I don't particularly like him either but he's up there again in the Tour championship.

He's having a pretty good year isn't he? Seems always to be there or thereabouts.

Might be a good outside bet for a major next year if he continues in this vein.

 

[ForeRighty]

Seems to lack that mental edge to push for the win on a Sunday. Should have won a big PGA event in past 2 years with positions his been in and ability.

 

[PCWOX]

He was interviewed by the SkyCart yesterday. Interestingly, he is top of the tour averages for low score on a Thursday of an event. However, he is outside the top 70 for score on a Sunday.

 

[Yant]

An arrogant, unfriendly, self obsessed person. Nothing to like other than how he plays golf.
